Leave a message for Barry Bonds at the beep…

This cat can stop spamOK, sports nuts – whether you're a fan of Barry Bonds or not, you now have the chance to let him know what you think about his home run record or any other topic on your mind. Barry's official Web site has teamed up with reQall to let people leave a voice message for Barry Bonds.

After you leave the message (up to 15 seconds, so be quick and witty), the system will send you a text message reply, a "special note from Barry," and a password to access your message on the Web site.

You can hear messages from others who've already left messages for Barry, although these are the sweet and cheerful messages of congratulations, and not anything filled with vitriol. I also seriously doubt that Mr. Bonds will be listening to any of these messages, but it's kind of funny to think of Barry returning home after a game, pressing a button and hearing, "You have 8,847 messages…"
