SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Barry Bonds did not waste any time. On the second day of his stint as a Giants spring training instructor, he walked up to Jarrett Parker in an indoor cage and gave the 28-year-old the rhetorical version of an inside fastball.
“Hey, man, I hear all this talk about you,” Bonds said to Parker. “I’m here. Let’s see what’s going on.”
When you are the starting left fielder for the San Francisco Giants, expect Barry Bonds to take an interest in you.
It’s been a decade since the greatest offensive force of nature since Babe Ruth inhabited left field at AT&T Park.
