When will the National League win again? Perhaps when they make all of the rules apply across the board, thus leveling(?) the playing field. For example, the DH is either used in both leagues, or terminated entirely.

Weren't those games against the Queen and her court just exhibition? What do these games have to do with the rest of Mays' career?

It is my understanding that the Giants are celebrating Mays' excellence as a Giant player in general, over a couple decades.

Willy Mays deserves all he can get, but maybe he should also try listening a little bit to his neighbors over there in Atherton. After all, they did allow him by way of the Atherton City Charter to be the only one that could buy propterty there for $100,000. Even the owner of the Giants did not qualify. Nevertheless, in reguards to yesterday's festivities, why is San Francisco celebrating Willie when you know that he could not even get on base when he and the rest of the Giants played the Queen and Her Court in two games? It's my understanding the coach died about a month ago, and holds the record for pitching 104 MPH, yet no professional baseball team neither consulted him nor hired him to coach their pitching staff? Go take a look at your newscast archives, and see how the pitcher felt sorry for the Giants, and tied a blindfold over her eyes, as she pitched underhand behind her back and still struck them all out! Now don't we fell a teenie tiny bit stupid?

Sorry, but outside of SF & ESPN's committed HYPE Machine, NO ONE cares about Barry Bonds. He is a fake, a phony, a convicted liar, and not worth watching, especially at this stage of his career. Jackie Robinson suffered for THIS????
