It never occurred to me that the Astros weren't pitching to Bonds because he was black until their strategy had backfired so many times it was silly. Why can't Latin Americans be black Latin Americans? The day before, Bonds got his only other hit off the Astros--from another black pitcher. Sure it may well be coincidence, just as it may be coincidence that the rookie card of probably the greatest baseball player of all time, a Giant, is worth a lot less than the rookie card, from the same year, of another player, a Yankee? Oh yeah, and one's white and one's black.

I don't know Bonds. I only live accross the bay from him. One thing I do know: he sure can hit home runs.
