Bobby Bonds, Jr. is upset with MLB and Hank Aaron for the way they are treating Barry Bonds' asterisk-laden approach to the all-time home run record. The Commish isn't sure he can be in town when the magic numbers are up, and Hammerin' Hank is pretty sure he'll be out of town playing golf.
But, from the "accidental honesty" files, Bobby unwittingly (for once, the word is apt) supplies the reason that Barry's "achievement" is yawn-inspiring: no one believes Barry's denials that he cheated to get there -- not even his brother.

In the ESPN article, Bobby Jr. tells ESPN that he doesn't know if his brother cheated:
Bobby Bonds Jr. does not know for certain if his more famous older brother took steroids. But he is bothered by the way baseball is treating his brother as he approaches Henry Aaron's career home run record, he told the Newark Star-Ledger.
In an interview Bobby Bonds Jr. says he's bothered that baseball commissioner Bud Selig has not committed to being present when his brother Barry Bonds hits home runs 755 and 756 -- and that Aaron has said he'll be somewhere else playing golf when the moment comes.
Moments later, Bobby Jr says that he asked Barry "point blank" and that Barry denied taking steroids.
But Bobby Jr. apparently has no reason to trust Barry's word to him, because not even Bobby Jr. believes his brother's "point-blank denial".
And, neither does MLB, Hammerin' Hank, or YT.
So, Barry and Bobby Jr., that's why we don't give a rat's ass about your or your numbers.
