Barry Bonds Signing Shows Giant HypocrisyRandy Shawbyline‚ Dec. 08‚ 2006As we go to press, ESPN is reporting that the Giants will sign Barry Bonds to a one-year contract worth $16 million. The signing comes despite any other team bidding on Bonds, and after the San Francisco Giants shook down San Francisco for $6 million in reduced stadium tax assessments (for details go to http://cbs5.com/localwire/localfsnews/bcn/2006/11/02/n/HeadlineNews/TAX-GIANTS/resources_bcn_html.) The Giants have essentially taken this $6 million away from the city’s needs and given it to Bonds---who had no other offer on the table!! |
