Barry Bonds Classic Quotations

When my name was first announced for the WBC, my gut reaction was that I wanted to play. After much thought and discussion with my family, I have decided to remove myself from the upcoming World Baseball Classic roster.

I don't think I ever played a nine-inning game any year before. I never need to play a nine-inning game. I'm ready to play a nine-inning game now. You saw in the world classic guys are playing nine innings already. We're capable of playing nine innings. Do you want to? No, not in spring training when you can take advantage of the rest period.
