When he came out for the first pitch before game three against Philly, you could hear the cheers from blocks away. He did everything he could to help the Giants win a World Series and they came so close in 2002. Barry is happy the team finally won in SF and wishes he could have been on the field, but that's sports.
I'm a Giants fan since the early 1980s, and I had to hold my nose during the Bonds era. Now, finally, the Giants are a team I can be proud of.

Bonds was a cheater and a jerk. The ends did not justify the means.

I'm not naive enough to think there are no "cheaters" on the current Giants, but Bonds was the poster boy.
