The New York Times reports that ESPN has shelved “Bonds on Bonds,� the documentary series about Barry Bonds. The network will run what will most likely be the last episodes of the series Thursday night and on Memorial Day.
ESPN said in a statement that it had put the series on “hiatus� because of “Bonds’ health and home run pace.�
Bonds has six home runs this season and 714 for his career, tied with Babe Ruth for second on the all-time list.
Rob Tobias, an ESPN spokesman, said the decision was not based on ratings. But the series is averaging a slim 0.5 rating (455,000 households), the New York Times reports.
