Rubber Chickens to Protest Bonds' Walks
Posted on: Saturday, 19 June 2004, 06:00 CDT
SAN FRANCISCO - The San Francisco Giants are tired of all the walks Barry Bonds is drawing this season. The club will begin selling orange rubber chickens named "Walk'er" on Monday, when the Giants open a four-game series against division rival Los Angeles.
The chickens - described as "your average fowl" - will sell for $10, with proceeds going to the Giants Community Fund.
Their purpose? "To officially protest the number of intentional walks at SBC Park," the Giants said.
Entering Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox, Bonds had drawn a major league-leading 94 walks in 57 games, 51 intentional.
