One Man Out? Bonds picks his legal team

December 6, 2007

There was a scene in the movie version of Eight Men Out in which Albert Austrian, head of the Black Sox’ team of lawyers, describes his colleagues.

“Their names may not sound familiar, but I’d say that these men are the Ty Cobb, the Tris Speaker, and the Zack Wheat of the legal world.”

Buck Weaver, portrayed by John Cuszak, asks facetiously, “Who’s the Babe Ruth?”

“That’s me,” replies Austrian.

I’m guessing these days you can’t say it will take the Barry Bonds of lawyers to get the all-time home run king out of this one.

Bonds and his courtroom strategies are the subject of this Dec. 6 Wall Street Journal article.
