We're big baseball fans, but we admit that we find it hard to get worked up about the game's ongoing steroid "scandal." For example, if you found out that legendary cocksmith Peter North had been corking his bat all those years, would that make his prodigious pop shots any less impressive? (Actually, don't answer that.) But if there's one positive development about the brouhaha surrounding Barry Bonds and his new, possibly tainted home run record, it's that Playboy still knows how to cash in on any newsworthy event by getting a minor (but hot) player to disrobe for some photos.
From Jessica Hahn to the Girls of Enron, this grand tradition has become a sort of coup de grace for any media spectacle and now that Barry's mistress, Kimberly Bell, has come forward to not only comment on his shriveled balls and ass injections, but also peel her uniform off in public, we feel like the entire ordeal has finally hit for the cycle. But as longtime fans of the Giants slugger there's one question we still have to ask: Does he choke up in bed too?
