Bonds expected to hear boos from Fenway Faithful (http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/columnist/bodley/2007-06-14-bodley-bonds-fenway_N.htm)
"My guess is there will be boos audible in Cambridge," says longtime Boston Globe columnist Bob Ryan. "If Barry hits one (home run), I don't think there's the slightest chance that ball doesn't return to the field. Whoever dares to keep it will risk physical harm."
Ryan says the media "often overrate the sophistication of the people here. Parochially, they like to think of themselves as enlightened, intellectual fans as a body. We allow them to perpetuate that myth and go out of our way to propagate it. But I'm often let down by them."

Would-be record-breaker is really a rule-breaker (http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2007/06/15/would_be_record_breaker_a_rule_breaker)
Here he is, ladies and gentlemen, Barry Bonds -- No. 25 in your program, No. 2 on the all-time home run list, and a Big Zero in the hearts of those who love baseball
and a pretty fair profile on Bonds in the Globe
In his pursuit of Aaron, Bonds hears all about it (http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2007/06/15/bashing_bashed/?page=full)
As he barnstorms the country in a virtual bubble, Bonds grants only brief news conferences the first day he arrives in a new city and often exploits the sessions to lash out at the media. He tapes the exchanges with a digital recorder, he told a reporter in Philadelphia, "so I can post you on my website, and if you write anything crazy, it's going to be on there, sir."

Under the big top: Bonds makes Fenway debut (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/06/15/SPGG4QFRTD1.DTL)
There will be a circus when Bonds and the San Francisco Giants visit Fenway Park for the first time tonight, but as the Red Sox will tell you, every night there is a three-ring, high-wire, shoot-him-out-of-a-cannon extravaganza. The Sox played a World Series on this field three seasons ago. Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter, as reviled in Boston as the Redcoats were 230 years ago, visit nine or 10 times a season. ESPN treats every Yankees-Red Sox tilt as Game 7 of the World Series. When former Red Sox outfielder Trot Nixon returned with Cleveland this year, 80 reporters covered it.
