Did anyone else realize Barry Bonds' son, the one who trolls around home plate celebrating his father's home runs, was named Nikolai? How could we have missed this? We know we haven't been at this blogging thing very long, but this seems like a pretty giant lapse on our part. No matter, because Bonds' kid's recent misfortune is proof enough for us that he'd never make it on the Soviet Olympic team anyway.
Nikolai Bonds tore two ligaments in his left ankle last week when he dunked during a pickup basketball game and came down on someone's foot -- and now the 17-year-old is hobbling around the clubhouse in a walking boot for the initial stage of what is expected to be a two-month recovery.
We've come down on someone else's foot several times while playing hoops, and we've sprained many an ankle, but never torn anything. Bonds, notorious (alleged) steroid user, not only has a son named Nikolai, but he's tearing ligaments before this 18th birthday. You know how they say some stories write themselves? W're pretty sure this is one of those.
Oh, and in case we forgot to mention it, this means Nikolai may not be in uniform as the Giants bat boy when his dad breaks Hank Aaron's record. Though at the rate Bonds is going, we're pretty sure Nikolai could have shattered both femurs and he'd still make it back in time.
