Swinging For The Barbed Wire Fences

The King of Artificial Swing is in shape to play baseball, Barry Bonds agent Jeff Borris says.

While waiting to see what comes to life from perjury and obstruction of justice charges, Bonds has tuned himself up and done everything but "face live pitching" at this point.

"We've heard good things about the prisons in Florida, but Barry seems to really have his heart set on playing for the Metropolitan Correctional Center in San Diego", Borris told reporters.

Bonds is still teamless after the Giants allowed him to walk last year. Teams such as Oakland have flirted with the idea of signing him, but the muffin-head mutant remains a free agent.

"Nigga, you crazy" stated Oakland Athletics General Manager Billy Beane when asked about his interest in signing Bonds.

Bonds' agent has rationalized no logical Prison League team would not want him on their roster, pointing out nearly all baseball fields in the PL circuit are smaller than the ones Bonds smashed home runs out of in the Majors.

"I mean, think about it. The fence is generally going to be about 100 feet closer, and Barry is going to be bugged out of his mind off White Lightning. Put a bat with some pop behind him for protection, and 80 home runs is not out of the question."

No Prison League managers were available for comment on the issue.
