A silent salute to Barry at Dodger Stadium
It was back in late May when we had the heads-up on the dirt on the Boycott Barry movement behind a group that's trying to make a visible stand against Barry Bonds' existence with their latest protest at Shea Stadium during a Giants-Mets game.
Tuesday, as the official BoycottBarry.com Website spells out, the protest moves back to Dodger Stadium, where in the past, ballpark security weren't shy about ejecting any fans wearing the Boycott Barry T-shirts or the Bonds red blindfolds. On Saturday, Aug. 4, the boycott moves to Petco Park when the Giants face the Padres in San Diego.
"Given Barry's home run situation, the timing could not be better (at Dodger Stadium)," said Daniel Kramer, the group's co-founder and the son of Robin Kramer, who is the chief of staff for L.A. mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
Damage control runs in the family.
Since Bonds says he gets off on the booing that happens all the time at Dodger Stadium, the point of the protest will be the silent treatment. Let's see what it takes to get an entire 50,000-plus fans to shut up.
The Bonds blindfolds will also be distributed -- you're not supposed to watch him bat, but put the mask on instead.
Each game will be televised on FSN Prime Ticket, so if you're home, you can also protest by hitting the mute button. Except all that will do is silence Vin Scully.
Read more in the Daily News in the coming days about what's going in the protest, and what's happened to this group in the past.
T-shirts and hats ($15 each), stickers ($2) and blindfolds ($3) can be ordered on the site beforehand.
Probably wouldn't hurt to buy an extra-small one in case Bob Costas shows up.
