Didn't see this article before, but Bonds did apologize to Pederson saying it was an honest mistake.
I know everyone here knows that I'm a Bonds apologist, but this is not why I'm about to say what I'm going to say. I would say it if it was Bonds in Pederson's position and vice-versa.
I've been at the butt-end of being called out for doing something when I honestly had no idea that it happened or how something was taken. I end up saying, "I did what??" quite often. Maybe it's something I need to work on as a person, being more aware of the things I say or the tone I carry. I have no idea. But given that Bonds is trying to rehabilitate his image anyway, I think I asked rhetorically before: what favor would he be doing himself if he actually had intent to ignore him?
Though I think I was defending him more saying that if he intentionally did it, it was probably because he was pulling a Chet Steadman: "I'm not 'The Rocket' anymore." I also did state that it could have been unintentional and he was blissfully unaware that Pederson even approached him. Joc accepted the apology as well. I hope we see a pic of them on Twitter together when they reunite in September.
