He called the residents of Boston "racists." He called Pirates fans racist because they liked Andy Van Slyke (a fan-friendly extrovert and great center fielder) more than him. He's made remarks about how important it was for him to pass Ruth because Ruth was white. He went on steroids because "white boy" Mark McGwire was getting so much attention. I can recall those off the top of my head, I'm sure there are lots of others including many unreported ones.

Thanks.

VanSlyke coaches with the Tigers now, and we were actually this morning discussing his fielding prowess, and how Bonds never had it.

He could hit 1000 home runs, and history would never put him in the same breath as Babe Ruth. Hopefully they take away his records, or at least asterik them...
