Barry is one of the greatest players to ever step on the field. Bobby is a near-HoFer and an integral part of the 1970s giants.
Gotta be the Bonds's."Allen Sutton Sothoron pitched his initials off today."--1920s article -

While some might believe that it is not even close, I must vote for the Griffeys. IMHO, there has been no evidence that Jr. was under the influence of PEDs, and the clubhouse factor for both Jr and Sr. would be on the plus side. On the other hand, the clubhouse factor for both Bonds' will be negative. While realizing we cannot place a number on 'clubhouse factor', such a factor is real, IMO.Catfish Hunter, RIP.

I would go with Bobby Bonds and Barry Bonds but I can see what you mean by clubhouse cancers.Originally posted by abolishthedh View Post
Why did Bobby Bonds move around so much? Was he a bad influece like how they always said Kingman was.
In a way I could see a reason for taking the Boones because you could fill up half your starting lineup with em.
C. Bob Boone
2B. Brett Boone
SS. Raymond Boone
3B. Aaron BooneLast edited by chicagowhitesox1173; 03-21-2012, 06:50 PM."(Shoeless Joe Jackson's fall from grace is one of the real tragedies of baseball. I always thought he was more sinned against than sinning." -- Connie Mack

Bobby Bonds was one of my favorite players during my childhood. He was generally selfish on and off of the field, although he did nothing to gain widespread publicity for it. The media tended to avoid such publicity anyway. Other players gained a larger negative reputation for such things.Originally posted by dominik View Post
IMO, Bobby influenced his son into being a jerk around clubhouses.Catfish Hunter, RIP. Mark Fidrych, RIP. Skip Caray, RIP. Tony Gwynn, #19, RIP

Any notable father/son combos in which at least one of them was a pitcher?Comment

Mel, Sr. and Todd Stottlemyre. Mel, Jr. was also a pitcher, but didn't last very long in the majors (1990 with the Royals).Originally posted by dgarza View Post
Dizzy and Steve Trout.
