Barry Bonds, 2002 NL champion San Francisco Giants celebrate 10-year reunion
SAN FRANCISCO Barry Bonds says he doesnt even remember Game 7 of the 2002 World Series. Russ Ortiz still has the ball manager Dusty Baker infamously handed him walking off the mound in Game 6 with a 5-0 lead and the championship eight outs away. Jeff Kent remains bitter about what he calls the worst defeat of my life.
Almost a decade later, San Franciscos collapse against Anaheim still stings.
Members of the 2002 National League champion Giants gathered at AT&T Park again Sunday, receiving light ovations from the crowd before San Francisco faced Baker and his Cincinnati Reds in the finale of a four-game series. Even Baker wore his home Giants uniform No. 12 with the rest of his former players during the ceremony while his Reds watched from the dugouts top step.
Game 6 happened and I dont even remember Game 7, said Bonds, slimmed down to about 212 pounds from his new love of cycling. I remember standing in the shower thinking, What happened?
