This just goes to show how hypocritical and classless that organization is. I have NEVER been a Barry Bonds fan outside of his years with the Pirates, but the Giants could not have taken a worse position now summed up by the removal of Bonds paraphernalia. They knew all along that the enormous growth of their enormous revenue generator was something outside of natural. However, like a classless organization they turned their heads and soaked up all the profits and glamor that their cartoonish slugger created.
It is not like this is the first year that EVERYONE knew Bonds took steroids, but they brought him back year after year until that precious record was destroyed by a greedy scumbag paved by that greedy organization. By taking down all of his memorabilia, photos, and such, they are making a HUGE statement. Unfortunately for the state of baseball, this statement came 5 years too late.
The Cardinals organization are not much better off after they completely ignored the outrageous numbers that Mark McGwire put up. But in their defense, he had already ballooned in physical stature under the watch of the other Bay area team. However, after Mark McGwire did the best thing and fell of the face of the Earth, they didn't go and try to make themselves feel righteous by taking down all of the Big Mac memories. Neither team is in the clear for watching these things go down, but the Giants just made themselves look that much worse after today's reports of tearing down all the Barry Bonds stuff.
