Barry Bonds

I'm not afraid to be lonely at the top.

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'd like to help educate kids about the Major Leagues - what to anticipate, what to expect, what they'll need to do to prepare themselves.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.
