As big and hard as his head is now, that ball probably exploded on impact.

Was Pedro Gomez on hand to report this?

Rumor has it...

The ball was once seen at BALCO on Vincent's desk. Someone was rubbing a clear gel on the ball instead of mud. The batter really juiced that pitch. Barry thinks the white-ball did it on purpose and was trying to make his son cry.

Re: Bonds hit in head by foul ball....

A bit different situation, but considering the two people involved, it definitely reminds me of when the ball bounced off Canseco's noggin and into the stands for a home run.

I guess taking steroids unfortunately decreases your ball/head coordination. Or would that be increases your ball/head coordination?

Re: Bonds hit in head by foul ball....

I'd be worried that Barry's head would swell up after something like that happened but I don't think you could tell the difference.
