HBO Films has Barry Bonds project in the works
One day after revealing an upcoming biopic of Joe Namath, Variety has a story today about an HBO Films project on a more contemporary figure: Barry Bonds.
Both films are in limbo until the writers strike is settled.
I never did see Barry Bonds play for the Alaska Goldpanners when I worked in Anchorage in 1983 and '84. And the days of Tom Seaver and Dave Winfield were way before my time covering the Alaska League.
During my time in Alaska I did cover Randy Johnson, Dennis Cook (who I saw throw a no-hitter), Jeff Brantley, Mike Macfarlane, Joe Magrane, Chris (Tony's brother) Gwynn and many other guys whose names I now forget.
Sigh.
