Thank Goodness for white shoes

From ESPN, Barry Bonds diss'es Oakland and would rather stay in his other city by the bay

Star-divide

Winter Meetings Recap The agent also said that Barry Bonds would much rather stay in San Francisco than sign with Oakland. "He doesn't want to drive across the Bay, he doesn't want to play in a dilapidated stadium, and he doesn't want to wear the white shoes," the agent said.

haha
I read that too and found it funny.  Hard to believe that shoe color could have any influence on a FA's destination but clearly it's possible now.
Green eyes come from yellow flecks of fatty pigment on a dark background. Some men think a green-eyed woman is exotic. The truth is she's got fat eyes.

Racism...Man!!!
Is Bonds so unhappy of the white sportswriter that he won't even wear white shoes?? The white man is trying to jail him, get him for taxes, create a negative persona, and now make him white shoes...someone call Al Sharpton!!!

It almost seems that by making this comment
you're painting yourself as much of a racist as Bonds.
Cisco Kid was a friend of mine...Cisco Field, not so sure.
