Bonds is going to start the all-star game in outfield. I was surprised that he made it in by the votes of the fans since he was down 100,000 the night before. He definitely deserves to be in and I am glad he made it. I guess all the loyal Giants fans voted at the last minute and got Barry in so all-star manager Larussa didn’t have to vote him in as a reserve.

Bonds now has a .304 batting average and he leads the major leagues in walks and in on base percentage at an incredible .504.
