Barry Bonds Can't Get Employed,So He Retired!

After what seemed to be much consideration,Barry Bonds has decided to give the ball up.He has retired from baseball.Now,for those baseball fans who thought that he was undeserving of his status because of his alleged steroid use,this is the day that they have been longing for.Others feel that a baseball great is leaving the field.

With his age & the scandal surrounding him playing a major factor in his continued unemployment,this seems to be the only move that Bonds could make.Here's more from Yahoo Sports:

"After 22 seasons in the major leagues, Barry Lamar Bonds' playing career has died.

It ended not with a home run — or even a strikeout — as it should be in baseball. Instead, it ends in semi-exile, without even a phone call to lift Bonds from the unemployment line.

His agent, Jeff Borris, told the San Francisco Chronicle as much Thursday, saying it's all-but impossible for the 45-year-old Bonds to find work heading into 2010.

From the Chronicle:

"It's two years since he played his last game, and if there was any chance he'd be back in a major-league uniform, it would have happened by now," Borris said. "When 2008 came around, I couldn't get him a job. When 2009 came around, I couldn't get him a job. Now, 2010 ... I'd say it's nearly impossible. It's an unfortunate ending to a storied career."

Storied? Oh, thought Borris said "steroid" there for a moment.

Sadly, steroids are what Bonds is remembered for. Not his 762 homers, or 14 All-Star Games or seven NL MVP awards. Well, fans remember all of that, too — just with a healthy injection of asterisks. And the cloud of an indictment that accuses Bonds of lying to a federal grand jury about knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
