Barry Bonds Naked

Emotionally, that is. Dan Le Batard of the Miami Herald has a fascinating column in the April 11 issue of ESPN The Magazine. It observes that:

The angry Bonds who opened spring training with a snarl by calling reporters liars? That's the guy I see in those first five minutes [of interviews]. The broken one leaning on a crutch and sounding so defeated a few days later? That's the guy I see after he drops the armor.

You'd be surprised how insecure superstars can be.

Unfortunately, the piece is not available on the Web. Non-subscribers will have to settle for this March 2005 column by Le Batard, which is almost as insightful. Bonds' Pain More than Physical [Herald.com].
