AMAZING THE ANSWERS THAT COME OUT ON THIS...no stats are checked or anything. First of all the Giants have been on the road...hard for Giants fans to "stuff the boxes". Secondly the tracking on voting shows that a majority of the votes have been cast in NY, Chicago and #1 Boston...so I would say that even though people may not like him on sports talk radio and when they are talking to their friends they are Bonds haters but when it comes to casting a vote they have to respect him and vote for him because they love watching him. People just do not like him because he is not warm and fuzzy to the reporters all the time, if they met the man and talked with him for 20 minutes they would love him! I met him his first year with SF and he was extremely nice to me and my friends, we had special passes to be on the field for Bp in uniform, Bonds and Matt Williams treated us four white boys like we were family, WIll Clark treated us like garbage....but everyone loves him!

Voting is not rigged... but when you go to the ball park, there is no limit on the number of ballots you can fill out. I think Giants fans stuffed the ballot box. Nothing wrong with that. Been done many times before! After all, the game IS in SanFran and he IS the most popular player amoung SanFran fans! Wait until you see how many Yankees start in the All-Star game next year with the game being in Yankee Stadium and it being the final season of Yankee Stadium before they tear it down at the end of the 2008 season!

yea he gets the treatment everywhere he goes, any number of fan votes and surveys show he isn't that popular outside SF.
Look at Cano, Lugo, Drew, Damon, Abreu, Lo Duca, Beltran, all got far too many votes thanks to a loyal fan base.
Look at A.J last season, they got the White Sox fan base in huge voting form and sent him there.
Giants fans did the same, he of course got votes all around the country/world, but without the local fans, he wouldn't have gotten anywhere. There is a reason he only got into the game in the last days of voting.

True that people hating him are the minority voice that think he is scum, which shows he is not.....
AS voting is based upon popularity among the public, and that shows that he is still favored among fan circles not located in SF.

1. The game is in San Fran
2. He plays for the Giants
3. Giants fans are pretty much the only ones who think he is clean. Also prob spent every waking hour stuffing ballot boxes and voting for him on the net.

If the fans hated him so much like the media proclaim he wouldn't have won the voting unkless of course it's rigged as some fans want to claim.

Bonds in not very popular because giants fans pushed to get him in and he was more than 100,000 votes behind nearing the end of voting but he got in because of giants fans.

Northern Californians have always been adept at stuffing the ballot box. A few undeserving Oakland players have made it in the past.

He is not popular, he is the best player on the San FRancisco Giants. And has about 20 homers on the season.

It tells me that all ten of his fans were busy little bees. Bonds probably kept them plied with steroids to they could keep voting continuously.
