Barry Bonds has one of the most twisted world views of any professional athlete. Not long ago, he said that his main problem with baseball was that the game never honors its minority heroes. I guess he never noticed the STATUE OF WILLIE MAYS IN FRONT OF HIS HOME BALLPARK. Not to mention the constant admiration felt for Mays, Aaron, Clemente, Reggie Jackson, Luis Tiant... and presently Ken Griffey Jr., Derek Jeter, Pedro Martinez, David Ortiz, and (to some extent) Alex Rodriguez. The guy's mind is simply twisted.
But, yes, I think it is overkill for a Grand Jury to get involved with major league sports scandals. Almost as overkill as the money these guys get paid for playing a game I would gladly take $30K a year to play...
