Barry Bonds
Voted off of ASU Sun Devils Baseball Team
It is well known that Barry Bonds is not well like now.  The fans, opposing players and
even his Giants' teammates do no like the man.  He has had a long history of
behavior and attitude problems.  But in a 2006 book by Sports Illustrated reporter, it
was discovered that he was voted off of his Arizona State baseball team like an
episode of survivor.  

In May 2006, former Sports Illustrated writer Jeff Pearlman released a scathing
unauthorized biography of Bonds entitled Love Me, Hate Me: Barry Bonds and the
Making of an Anti-Hero. Though obscured by Game of Shadows, the book also
contained many allegations against Bonds. Perhaps most noteworthy were the
alleged details of his three years at Arizona State University, during which time Bonds
was voted off the team by a 22-2 margin by teammates. The vote came after head
coach Jim Brock had suspended Bonds for violating multiple team rules. The book
states that ASU coach Jim Brock initiated the vote in the expectation that the team
would vote to keep Bonds; when they did not, he overruled them. Love Me, Hate Me
also provided the statements of Jay Canizaro, a former Giants second baseman who
also stated that he had first hand knowledge of Bonds taking steroids.
