"Hall of Fame Head"

And the Athlete of the Day Goes to......

Barry Bonds' Head.

Cooperstown, the Valhalla of overpaid dreamers carrying the torch of our collective hope, will soon lift its crusty velvet rope and let a few chosen ones in.  The initial list consists of the typical 90’s legends: Glavine, Maddux, Frank Thomas and Craig Biggio.  Who’s missing?  Barry Bonds’…head.  

No, not Bonds himself, he of the needle-injecting culture that transformed baseball as we know it, he of the penultimate record of most home runs in a single MLB season.

I’m talking about Barry Bond’s head.

Exhibit A.

I mean, look at that Thing.  He went from a Winston Zedmore look-a-like to a Marcellus Wallace impersonator in a matter of years.  The growth alone is legendary and in my book qualifies it for Cooperstown (or at least Ripleys Believe it or Not).  That thing looks like it should be wired into a mainframe and used to ward off asteroids just using it’s psychic abilities.

He looks like a black Kojak.

Do the right thing Cooperstown, vote for Bonds’ head.
