Cool. Can you tell me which gym exercises cause your head to double in size?
Mike Murphy, the San Francisco Giants’ clubhouse manager, testified Monday in the home-run champion’s perjury trial that Bonds’ cap size increased for the 2002 season. It went from 7 1/4 to 7 3/8, Murphy said.
This, despite the fact Bonds had begun shaving his head.
Now, on the surface, this might not seem like a big deal. Murphy also testified that aging ex-players such as Willie Mays and Willie McCovey had required similar adjustments to their ballcaps.
However, Bonds was still in the middle of his playing career, when cap sizes rarely change. Oh, yeah, and he was also coming off a 73-homer season in which he broke Mark McGwire’s (tainted) record.
Use of human growth hormone is widely believed to cause enlarged head size, which is why I tried (without success) to obtain one of Bonds’ Pittsburgh-era baseball caps at several points in the past decade.
Thanks to Murphy’s testimony, that’s no longer necessary.
At long last, it appears we have our smoking ballcap.
Who the fuck cares if his head grew? I got a bigass head and can't hit like him.
