Barry Bonds' Era Officially Ends
Authored by JOHN W LILLPOP
When Los Angeles Dodgers’ catcher Russell Martin hit a game-winning homer off Giants’ pitcher Vinnie Chulk on August 13, he did far more than conclude a three-game sweep by the hated first-place Dodgers.
Martin’s blast signaled a new era of domination by Los Angeles youth over San Francisco age. From now and into the foreseeable future, Dodger Stadium, not ATT Park, shall be the venue for league championship series, pennants and the World Series.
The steroid-plagued era of Barry Bonds has officially ended.
It was a nice run while it lasted. What a pity it never produced a world championship.
But that is a San Francisco baseball tradition, is it not?
Pity, too, that the Bonds will be forced to sit on his asterisk, sans that coveted World Series ring.
