Barry Bonds and the Homerun Contest

Some people want to pick on Bonds because he didn't take part in the Homerun contest(I assume he still didn't but I didn't watch it). If I was Bonds there is no way in the world I would take part in that slow pitch nonsense. It would probably mess up his timing and thus his swing. And those five hrs he needs to break the record might never happen.

Plus if I was Bonds, there's no way in the world I'm taking part in the All-Star Game. At his age, I'm going to rest my knees and my body.
