Darth Vader vs. Barry Bonds
They’re easily two of the most polarizing figures to come out of the Bay Area. Sports Illustrated examines the two titans in a side-by-side comparison: Darth Vader and Barry Bonds. Which of these heaviest hitters to come out of a laboratory (er… allegedly that is, of course) comes out on top? Find out here. (Special thanks to Club Jade for the tip).

For extra credit, can someone out there compare the number of differences between a 1977 vs. a 2005 Darth Vader Topps card, and a 1986 Pittsburgh Pirates vs. a 2007 SF Giants Bonds Topps card? We’re just curious.

Both Darth Vader and the Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative would be honored if you would join them.

Vader vs. Bonds…. that’s easy. Vader still has good in him. Bonds never did. He’s always been evil. You should have compared him to himself or the Emperor.
