Baseball - Bonds and the Media

Barry Bonds has had a bad relationship with the media for a very long time. This stems back to his days in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization. Even early on in his career he had problems getting along with the media, as he often times snubbed them when they wanted to talk.

This attitude has followed him to San Francisco, and nothing has changed. Even though there are some people that like Bonds, the majority of people think that he is nothing more than an arrogant player at best. The problem is that there is no denying that he knows how to play the game; this is what bothers people even more.

With the recent steroid scandal that Bonds has been linked to, the population that closely watches the game of baseball has begun to dislike him even more than before. 

At this point it does not seem that Bonds will ever be able to mend his relationship with the media; most people believe it is too late to start now. As Bonds approaches the all time home run record it will be interesting to see how much attention he gets on a national level. One thing is for sure; he will definitely have a lot of people rooting against him.
