I could learn how to press 'Record' on a tape recorder and write for a newspaper or a magazine.

When I was playing, it would be whatever role I wanted. Now it's whatever they ask me to do, which I kind of like better.

Serra High school, to me, was my most enjoyable time for me in my entire life. That was the only time I was free. We just played baseball because it was fun.

I've always played for the acceptance of my godfather (Willie Mays) and father (Bobby Bonds).

I don't want to be a Major League coach.

I'm a very private person. My life story isn't for everybody.

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.
