Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Never seen...
Bonds tank a play. Never. The problem with talent like his is that it makes everything he does look easy.

Watch Robby Alomar sometime. Then watch another 2nd baseman. Alomar can make plays on balls that no other 2nd baseman could even reach...but he does it so easily it looks like slow motion.

Sure Bonds is an arrogant SOB. Almost every marquis athlete in his generation is an arrogant SOB. It seems to come with the territory in modern sport.

New Wondering re such 'talents'.. how they come about.
Idiot savant? Yes, that's an extreme case, but - is it possible that many sports luminaries ('hero' can never again be applied to such dilettantes, we see - that much changed on 9/11) -- are simply deficient in the normal social sensibilities? One-note Johnnys (or Barrys) and *this* happens to be that one note?

Remember, lotsa folks in school never made even the mediocre cliques, were always awkward. Many, later of course - found out how utterly mindless, ovine and silly were those cliques: and got some moxie on their own..

But some never quite get the hang of homo-sap duplicity, glad-handing and other deceptions. Is that enough reason to maybe give the Bonds of the world (and the Dimaggios?) a bit of a break - even some sympathy, perhaps?
