Barry Bonds Coming to St. Louis? 

Filed Thursday, December 7, 2006 at 12:00 PM

Rumor has is that homerun king Barry Bonds had a meeting this week with an unnamed official from the St. Louis Cardinals.

From Yahoo! Sports:

The Cardinals’ interest was difficult to define. Their general manager, Walt Jocketty, said Thursday morning he had not met with Bonds and added, “I don’t know where that’s coming from.”

Asked if the club had any interest in the tainted slugger, Jocketty said, “No.”

But, it appears that another Cardinals employee did, allowing Jocketty to maintain distance from the conversation and any possible fallout.

In related news… State Rep. Talibdin El-Amin will be introducing legislation next session to rename the stretch of Highway 70 running through north St. Louis City from “Mark McGwire Highway” to “John Bass Highway”, after the powerful former state senator.
