What I don't understand is why baseball does not eject players who intentionally throw at the batter.

Ever been hit by a baseball? If you get hit in a soft spot, it leaves a mark you won't be sleeping on that night. And if it hits a bone, your season could be over. And if it hits your face, your career.

Yeah, I'm ok with anything on that list.

You have to understand the larger issue of integrity and doping and how it applies to Bonds' legacy.

In the eyes of the law, Bonds is an admitted doper. He acknowledged he took performance-enhancing drugs in court. That's all that needs to be said about the yes-no question did he take PED's.

However, if he admitted he…
