Five years ago, this happened:
Your browser does not support iframes.
It was a special moment for Bonds and his family and—judging by the reaction of the AT&T Park crowd—for the Giants' fans as well. The rest of the baseball world? I'm not so sure. Too many things have happened since that day for there to be much, if any, goodwill left from the event that...
