Last night, there was a notable fan watching last night's Giants-Dodgers game: Barry Bonds, who was greeted by cheers of "Barry! Barry! Barry!" The Giants' website reports that the infamous player "created a stir when he took a front-row seat during the first inning between Giants managing general partner Bill Neukom and team president Larry Baer. The all-time home run leader drew applause from the stunned fans who immediately recognized him, then prompted a noisy standing ovation from the crowd before the top of the second inning when he received a video tribute and was introduced over the public-address system."
Bonds reiterated his status as a baseball player to reporters—"I just haven't retired, that's the only status I have"—and was coy about playing again, "The only interest I have right now is going to my seat and watching the Giants beat the Dodgers." And the Giants did—winning the game 5-4. You can also watch Barry's interview here but Deadspin recaps it, "Bonds was only a jerk to sell tickets and Mike Krukow doesn't pay that much attention to baseball."
