This is the kind of news that could warm any cold baseball heart in the dead of January: Alex Rodriguez is training for his comeback with Barry Bonds. It's enough to make you throw open the windows and sing into city streets. Baseball's almost back!Two of the most hated (and gifted) baseball players on the planet--at least the people of San Francisco still like Bonds, A-Rod is perhaps most hated in New York--are joining forces like some evil Voltron to help A-Rod regain his rightful place as Amazing Baseball Player That Everyone Barely Tolerates Because He Is Such A Massive Trainwreck. The San Francisco Chronicle's John Shea has the scoop thanks to a couple of buddies, and he hears A-Rod looks good.This is how this needs to play out: A-Rod comes into spring training and immediately makes it clear he can still play at a Major League level. He's also polite with the media and tells them everything they want to hear--I made a mistake, I was stupid, all I wanted was to win, but now I know that wasn't the right way to do it, and I want to show I can do it on the level, blah blah blah--and then Opening Day, April 6, 2015, he's the starting DH. It doesn't have to be a walk off, but let's say he hits a home run of some significance. After the game he credits his teammates, reaffirms he wants to prove himself, and also thanks Barry Bonds.April 8, game two: Heel turn. A-Rod goes full asshole and reaches deep into the Barry Bonds media playbook for the rest of the season, while leading the Yankees in all offensive statistical categories, carrying a team of chumps on his back to the pennant. This man has been destroyed like no other athlete for things pretty much every athlete has done, but mostly just because he wasn't Derek Jeter. There needs to be a reckoning and who better to be its ghostwriter than Barry Bonds? This will be consume the whole summer. Bud Selig? Gone. Derek Jeter? Gone. This is A-Rod's show now.Are you excited for baseball today, January 21, 2015? Because you should be really fucking excited for baseball right now.
