Zitat des Tages von Barry Bonds:
I like to be against the odds.
As an athlete, you only have so much time. The window only has so much time and then it closes. You have to take care of yourself the best you can.
I don't know what my future is.
Everyone in society should be a role model, not only for their own self-respect, but for respect from others.
Those boos really motivate me to make something happen.
I think some of the pressure comes from the expectations of other people. Like if your father played baseball, they expect you to be the big lifesaver or something when you play a sport.
There is nothing better than walking out and hitting a home run.
I think everyone needs to be a role model, period.
I don't want to be a Major League coach.
I'm not afraid to be lonely at the top.
My career is an open book, but my life is not.
I'm going to go back to the Bay Area, this is my thing, and I'm just going to open my own school of baseball. Find a facility, find a place and just teach kids. That's what I want to do.
Young players need to know how to take care of themselves for life after baseball.
Baseball is just my job.
But to be the best, you must face the best. And to overcome your fear, you must deal with the best.
Every pitcher can beat you, it doesn't matter how good you are.
When I finish playing, I think I'd like to coach college baseball.
It's not the name that makes the player. It's the player.
I don't know what you guys say, but at home, life is way different from baseball.
I was born to hit a baseball. I can hit a baseball.
I never stop looking for things to try and make myself better.
There's not too many rich black people in this world.
I was a momma's boy. I didn't get anything from Dad, except my body and baseball knowledge. The only time I spent with him was at the ballpark.
I have a chef who makes sure that I'm getting the right amounts of carbs, proteins and fats throughout the day to keep me at my max performance level.
I could learn how to press 'Record' on a tape recorder and write for a newspaper or a magazine.
I'm a very private person. My life story isn't for everybody.
