A Northern California youth baseball league has barred Barry Bonds' former personal trainer from coaching his son's team. The president of the Burlingame Youth Baseball Association says Greg Anderson is not a registered coach and is prohibited from being on the field during games. Anderson, who has coached for years, was told of the prohibition after a parent complained about the convicted steroid dealer's participation. League president Mike Brunicardi says there were no complaints until this season. Anderson spent three weeks in prison this year for refusing to testify at Bonds' trial on charges that he lied about steroids use. Anderson earlier pleaded guilty to steroids distribution. Brunicardi says Anderson is free to register as a coach next season, but will have to undergo a background check like other volunteers.
You know who's son is going to suck at sports? The dude who complained about a professional athlete's trainer coaching his son, that's who.
And not just any trainer, the trainer of the home run king of all of baseball, steroid era included, which we all know is the most impressive era. So what if the guy has a rep as a drug dealer? Does this guy know how much college costs these days? You sure you don't want that baseball scholarship? Because I'm pretty sure a world class baseball trainer and the right cocktail of designer performance enhancers could mold your scrawny 10 year old into a baseball crushing machine.
Yea your kid might have the biggest high school forehed the 12th grade has ever seen by the time he graduates, but the benefit of a free ride to college or a multi-million dollar baseball contract see a fair trade off, no?
