Barry Bonds, who has sued the authors of "Game of Shadows"- not for libel, defamation, slander, or anything else of the kind- but rather under California's Unfair Competition Law.
You know what it means that Bonds hasn't sued for libel? It means the book is true.

Posted by: POP-POP at March 24, 2006 03:50 PMYes, Pop-Pop, that's what we call "grandstanding." If Bonds's lawyer had a leg to stand on, he'd have sued already rather than make idle and obviously empty threats.
