CREAM-ing The Ball, CLEAR-ing The Bases: The Barry Bonds Story

Everyone's favorite perjurer and baseball's resident walking syringe, Barry Lamar Bonds, is set to be the next subject of HBO Films.

FROM THE SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS: The story of Barry Bonds and the BALCO steroids scandal is going to be made into a film by HBO.

The premium cable channel has acquired the rights to "Game of Shadows: Barry Bonds, BALCO and the Steroids Scandal That Rocked Professional Sports," the book by Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams who covered the story for the San Francisco Chronicle.

The film will be written and directed by Ron Shelton, whose lengthy resume includes such notable sports films as "Bull Durham," "Tin Cup" and "White Men Can't Jump." It will be produced by Ross Greenburg, the head of HBO Sports who also produced "61*" about Roger Maris' chase of Babe Ruth's homerun record, and Michael Greenburg ("Stargate SG-1").

Our question is who is going play pre-2003, human Barry and who is going to play post-Balco, genetic freak Barry.
