I don't know if the record is going to happen. I don't really think about the record. There are other things I worry about.

Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about a bad break I got. Yet today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.

The ballplayer who loses his head, who can't keep his cool, is worse than no ballplayer at all.

You don t get the breaks unless you play with the team instead of against it.

I may have had a tough break, but I have an awful lot to live for.

I love to win, but I love to lose almost as much. I love the thrill of victory, and I also love the challenge of defeat.

When I finish playing, I think I'd like to coach college baseball.

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

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

I don't know what you guys say, but at home, life is way different from baseball.

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

My life is in shambles. It is crazy. It couldn't get any crazier. I'm just trying to stay sane.

Every pitcher can beat you, it doesn't matter how good you are.

Losing dad (Bobby Bonds) was the worst thing in the world.

It's not the name that makes the player. It's the player.

There is nothing better than walking out and hitting a home run.

Sometimes I surprise my own damn self.

I like to be against the odds.
