Barry Bonds: Getting His Just Undue
by Bryce Martin

The "Satan of Swat," the guy who cheapened the most hallowed record in all of sports, how do you measure he? This way:

One of our favorite ways of measuring the popularity of sports stars is to check jersey searches. If a player is cool enough for fans to wear his or her name on their back, the athlete's status in buzz is cemented.

1. David Beckham Jersey
2. Marion Barber Jersey
3. Tony Romo Jersey
4. Walter Payton Jersey
5. Tim Tebow Jersey
6. Brett Favre Jersey
7. Michael Vick Jersey
8. Hope Solo Jersey
9. Devin Hester Jersey
10. Vince Young Jersey
11. Randy Moss Jersey
12. Patrick Willis Jersey
13. Reggie Bush Jersey
14. Tom Brady Jersey
15. Peyton Manning Jersey
16. Larry Bird Jersey
17. Joe Montana Jersey
18. Craig Biggio Jersey
19. Steve Nash Jersey
20. Mia Hamm Jersey


My point is not in providing the list, but to remind that of the 20 named Barry Bonds is not one. Only one baseball player is, the now-retired Craig Biggio. The puffball who claims the career home run record does not have enough residue from that to even make the top 20?

I'll claim that as a certain amount of justice.
