Report: Barry Bonds to file case accusing MLB teams of collusion

[El Supremo]

Oh give me a fucking break!

Now that Barry Bonds has cleared his name from any criminal charges, he's coming after the people he has long believed to have worked together to end his baseball career prematurely.

According to a report from Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, Bonds is preparing to file a grievance against Major League Baseball, accusing teams of colluding to keep him out of the league following the 2007 season when he became a free agent. Bonds broke Hank Aaron's all-time home run record that season and finished with 762 for his career but did so under heavy suspicion of PED use, making him a very unpopular figure around baseball.

At 43 years old, he played 126 games in 2007 and hit 28 home runs with a .480 OBP and 1.085 OPS. Despite those strong offensive numbers, Bonds and his agent Jeff Boris have said they didn't receive a single contract offer for the 2008 season even though they claimed Bonds would play for the league's minimum salary....

3. First of all, his legal problems aren't over ...

federal prosecutors have asked the court to put the case on hold while the government decides whether to seek review from the U.S. Supreme Court. (http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Prosecutors-ask-court-to-put-a-hold-on-Bonds-6231763.php)

Second, this case can't be won. He'd have to physically prove collusion which is impossible since none existed! Only an egotistical nitwit would chase such a fantasy ...

yeah, right.
