Giants Idol Day 2

Apparently this softer side of Bonds is making its appearance in conjunction with ESPN cameras following him around for a reality show. So even when he's nice to people he's doing it out of self-interest. By the way, did anyone look at yesterday's pictures and say to himself "no way did that guy take steroids?" Anyway, I don't know if they even crowned a winner, but the charade did raise $6,000 for charity.

Episodes of the reality show will air each week on one of the ESPN networks until Bonds passes Ruth at 714. The first show of the series, entitled "Bonds on Bonds," is slated for an hour slot on ESPN2 at 8 p.m. ET April 4, a day after the Giants open the season in San Diego's PETCO Park. It will be aired in lengths of either 30 to 60 minutes each Tuesday.
It could be renewed for another 10 hours of production if and when Bonds closes in on Aaron, with all the composite episodes being edited to a 100-minute documentary film that will illustrate the events that transpired both on and off the field as Bonds made a run at one of baseball's most cherished records.
