Todd (nolemmings)Are you suggesting that Barry put his daughter up to scribbling some note for his (or his reputation's)benefit? That's ridiculous. If anything is apparent to me about Barry Bonds, it's that he does not give a damn (probably to his detriment)about what anyone else thinks about him. He seeks no marketing- what you see is what you get.
As for the little girl showing up for a game or two to see number 70, more power to the family. Who wouldn't want their child to witness a major accomplishment?
Finally, please do not forget that we did indeed get to see McGwire's batboy son on plenty of occasions (good for his family too!), and I personally got (and still get)so sick of Sammy's little skip and kiss the sky routine-- you want to talk about marketing.
