He opted out of the MLB licensing agreement back in 2003, choosing to go out on his own:

1. B, although he and Roger Clemens as cellmates does appeal to the Major League in me. 2. Probably A. 3. Based on what I have heard from Buster Olney and Lee "Hacksaw" Hamilton who are members of BBWA, never. 4. D. I never really liked him. But in 98, it was Bonds vs. McGwire in the home run race and Mac had the media and the public behind him. As I recall, there was a beanie baby called Mac the Cardinal and another for Sammy the Cub. There was no giant headed beanie baby for poor Barry.

Because Barry Bonds is the biggest prick in baseball. I'm one of the few that wants to see him break Aarons record

all players are allowed to take themselves out of the marketing agreement. and that's what bonds did. he did so because he knew that in the long run he'd make more money doing it himself (and no one would get it other than himself) because he's about to break the hr record
THAT IS THE REAL REASON BASEBALL ISN'T SUPPORTING HIM. because they CAN'T MAKE MONEYOFF IT WITHOUT HIS CONCENT AND WITHOUT CUTTING HIM A HUGE CHECK
and i say good. more power to him. players are stupid for letting baseball make millions off of them while at the same time making no effort to pay players to make good teams
the royals, twins, nats, marlins,..i could go on-are all examples of this.

he doesnt allow his name on the game, much like MJ was never in a line up for NBA Live when he was on the Bulls
