BARRY BASHERS WON'T BE CAUGHT LOOKING PROTEST GROUP TO WEAR BLINDFOLDS WHEN SLUGGER AT BAT.

Byline: JILL PAINTER

Daniel Kramer could be in the middle of pandemonium at Dodger Stadium tonight, but he won't see it coming.

Every time Barry Bonds heads to the plate looking to tie Hank Aaron's major league home-run record of 755, Kramer and about 103 of his cohorts will shield their eyes with their "Bond-folds" blindfolds and proudly display their BoycottBarry.com T-shirts.

Kramer is a co-founder of the group BoycottBarry.com that has traveled to baseball parks from coast to coast. Its mission is to show displeasure about Bonds' home-run chase, which has allegedly been aided by steroids use.

That means a milestone ball, surely worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, could bonk Kramer smack in the head. "It would be worth the pain," said Kramer, who will be sitting down the left-field line.

Whether Bonds is crowned home-run king at Dodger Stadium is irrelevant to Kramer. He will continue to boycott everything Bonds, something he has done with gusto since last season.

"I don't care too much when he hits what home run because it's all a sham," said Kramer, 26. "It's make-believe. It's not real to me. Hank Aaron is Hank Aaron and will always be and there are no questions about him. The sad thing is there will always be legitimate questions about Barry and about baseball. It's not going away tomorrow or (No.)755 or (No.)756. It's going to be discussed as long as baseball is played in this country."

Kramer and his group are not the only fans likely to root against Bonds during the three-game series between the rival San Francisco Giants and Dodgers that begins at 7tonight.

The Asterisk Party, a group designed to promote awareness of baseball's drug problem, will hold giant foam asterisks in protest as well. Many people think an asterisk should be placed next to the records of Bonds and any other player who has used steroids. Tom Wilson, an L.A. resident and founder of the group, has had nearly 2,000 asterisks manufactured.

Baseball might not print one in the record books, but they'll make their way into prized photos.

"We are protesting the steroid era and all of the numbers that are a result," Wilson said. "We're not about hate."

Kramer's stay in the outfield seats was short-lived during a Dodger Stadium game against the Giants last year. Security escorted the group from the game for offensive and obscene T-shirts (the baseball player depicted on the shirt is swinging a syringe instead of a bat).

The BoycottBarry.com group was asked to remove or change T-shirts. The group complied for a while, but some members put their T-shirts back on. Who would blame the Dodgers if they turned a blind eye toward a Bonds basher or two? It's the Dodgers and Giants, so anything goes.

You can't let Bonds waltz through Chavez Ravine en route to breaking the record without a Giant amount of grief. You know there will be plenty of "Barry (stinks!)" chants, but the BoycottBarry.com group thinks everything is said by saying nothing at all.

Kramer is an entrepreneur and son of Robin Kramer, the chief of staff for Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. "I have a terrific mother who happens to be a public servant," Kramer said. "The issues she deals with are much more important to the city of Los Angeles and its residents than something her son is doing. ...I'm not doing anything illegal. There's no reason for her to be concerned unless she thought Barry Bonds was the best player of all time."

Robin Kramer said she loves her son but declined to comment for this article.

Kramer will wear the same T-shirt, one of many (though he won't say just how many) he purchased in bulk from overseas. And he'll be voicing -- or rather not voicing -- his distaste for Bonds.

"Our policy has not changed in regards to what's appropriate attire," Dodger spokesman Josh Rawitch said. "Any fans choosing to not stick to that policy will be warned and asked to leave the ballpark if they don't abide by the rules."

Bonds allegedly isn't abiding by the rules, and Kramer wants to be sure Bonds gets the silent treatment at Dodger Stadium.

How sweet would it be if the only thing you could hear after a historic home run is the pounding of his allegedly steroids-infested body lumbering around the bases? No cheers, no fireworks, no clapping from Commissioner Bud Selig from his suite. Nothing.

If Bonds homered, Kramer said, he would sell the ball and donate the proceeds to baseball's Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities program and Strikeouts for Troops, Giants pitcher Barry Zito's charity that raises money for soldiers in military hospitals.

Kramer could find a sliver of goodness in home run No.756. And all he might say is, "Ouch!"
