And you are 100 percent correct.

After the Bush/Cheney 9/11 WTC attacks, which killed over 3,000 innocent Americans,
"Everything stopped - including major league baseball....Then, after major league baseball resumed, Barry Bonds continued to hit home runs.
He did more to 'heal' our nation in that time of great crisis, than anyone else."

On a personal note, as a 50-year San Francisco Giants fan, I think the Giants should hire Barry Bonds as their new batting coach.
He would be the perfect choice for that job, imo.
