The Yankees Almost Signed Another P.E.D. Cheater
One more nugget from last night’s 7-0 Yankees win over the Giants:
During the sixth inning of Wednesday’s Opening Night matchup between two historic franchises, the Giants and Yankees, all-time home run leader Barry Bonds joined the Netflix broadcast booth at Oracle Park and told an incredible story about just how close he came to signing with the Yankees in 1992. [...]
“Well, I would’ve been a Yankees [player],” Bonds said, “but Steinbrenner got on the phone and they called us and they told me, ‘Barry, we’re gonna give you the money — [make you] the highest-paid player … but you have to sign the contract by 2:00 this afternoon.’”
One thing you don’t do is give Bonds an ultimatum.
“And I said, ‘Excuse me?’” Bonds said. “And I just hung the phone up.”
The Yankees went on to play in six World Series from that moment until the end of Bonds’s playing career, winning four championships. Bonds played in one World Series with the Giants, losing a seven-game series to the Angels in 2002.
