The San Francisco Giants held a pregame ceremony in honor of their best outfielders and as rumored, Barry Bonds showed up to participate. The crowd gave Barry a standing ovation proving that there’s at least one city where Bonds isn’t hated.

At the end of Barry’s speech (2:01-2:37) he says “I’m not retired“. I hate to be the one to break it to Barry but he’s retired. He might want to play, and could probably still put in work, but Major League Baseball has decided not to let Bonds get near a baseball field unless it’s to be part of some sort of reunion. Maybe it’s just me but I don’t see the difference between Barry Bonds cheating and guys like Rick Ankiel, Troy Glaus, Miguel Tejada, Andy Pettitte, Jason Giambi, Ivan Rodriguez, Paul Byrd, Gary Sheffield, Brian Roberts, and Gary Matthews jr. cheating.
