Chicks dig the long ball

"There has been massive cheating by perhaps hundreds of players over the last ten or fifteen years. It's the biggest scandal in the history of baseball, and Barry Bonds is just one piece of it."

-Fay Vincent, one-time Commissioner of Baseball (and Pete Rose investigator)

Okay, what happened? I saw Bond's pic on an AOL news headline last night as I walked past my dh's computer, but didn't stop to make him follow the link. Whadda they mean lying? Like "I hit a ball soooo far..." lying or is it the whole undetected drugs thing (again)? Taxes? Extortion? White slavery? What?!

Perjury and obstruction of justice.

...wha..? Okay, I guess I'm gonna have to look this up. I can't imagine what perjury and justice obstruction deviltry a ballplayer would feel compelled to indulge in. Geeze, Louise...

I am wondering if you are joking, but in case not, they are indicting him for lying to a grand jury about steroid usage.

My ignorance is sadly genuine. I have no sports affiliations and no TV. The computer is the only sad and sorry excuse for news media that I have access to. I don't follow baseball 'cept'n for what madbaker posts.

I found the article, though. How sad to end a career on such a horrible note.
