Everyone in society should be a role model, not only for their own self-respect, but for respect from others.

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.

Losing dad (Bobby Bonds) was the worst thing in the 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 don't sign for white people.

I think of myself as 'catching' the ball with my bat and letting the pitcher supply the power.
