Joe Montana Supports Barry Bonds

When luck's got you down. When it feels like everyone in the free world is against you (except for those in San Francisco, natch). And, when all hope is lost, don't fret. He will appear like a vision on the center field video screen. It's Joe Montana, there to comfort you, Barry Bonds.

"Hey Barry, Joe Montana here," said the football Hall of Famer, shown on the ballpark's large video screen in centerfield. "Congratulations on a great career, and good luck on the road to history. And remember, don't just break that record. Give 'em a number that no one will reach."

Bonds, standing in leftfield for the start of the first inning, applauded with his glove. The Giants greatly hope there'll be more reason to celebrate by the end of this week, although they're not sharing every last detail of their plans.

Rumor has it Bob Costas came on the screen in the sixth inning to lend his support as well, but because he's a midget, you could only hear him. Cameras can only shoot straight ahead, don't you know that?
