Former Major League slugger and controversial home run king Barry Bonds is apparently bored in his free time.

Seeing as the Hall of Fame won’t call him following his involvement with performance-enhancing drugs during his playing career, and has signed up in recent months at social media sites, including Instagram and Twitter.
Seems Bonds also is one of the testers for Google’s wearable computer, Google Glass, and Bonds posted a tweet showing both him wearing the device as well as completely misunderstanding how to use Twitter:

Yeah, that’s disgraced MLB great Barry Bonds, “Glassing,” while sipping on his coffee (hopefully). And also apparently not realizing his Twitter and Instagram accounts were linked. Just because a man was great at baseball doesn’t mean the man will be great at social media, folks. Bonds doesn’t tweet a whole lot, but has been fairly active considering he’s only been on the site a month or so. He’s retweeted support for one of his former teams, the San Francisco Giants, pictures of him with boxer Mike Tyson, and apparently Bonds is also an Apple enthusiast:

Oh, Barry Bonds. You never cease to amaze.
