Barry Bonds Game Quotations

That doesn't push me at all, the game pushes me to come back, ... they're doing so well, I don't want to mess it up.

Why would I have that? I've never had a realistic game number ever in my career. If you're in the lineup, you play. If you're not, you don't.

I've never cared about records anyway. So what difference does it make? Right now, I'm telling you, I don't even want to play next year. Baseball is a fun sport. But I'm not having fun. I love the game of baseball itself, but I don't like what it's turned out to be. I'm not mad at anybody. It's just that right now I am not proud to be a baseball player.

That's my plan, that's why I'm here, ... There's no doubt in my mind I can play the game at a high level.

There's just no doubt in my mind that I can keep playing the game at a high level.

There's no doubt in my mind that I can still play the game at a high level. I have a short period of time to try to help as much as I can, and hopefully it doesn't hurt the team.

I'm just looking forward again to having my name called playing left field and seeing that little kid in the stands. Those are the visions that I see. I haven't got to the game part yet, how my emotions are going to feel. Am I going to be nervous or jittery? Guys are playing really good. I don't want to mess it up.

I just want to win a championship. I'm playing to win a championship. That's the only thing that keeps me going. ... The only thing keeping me in the game of baseball right now is trying to win a championship for the team, trying to win a championship with a bunch of guys.

I have no doubt in my mind my playing ability, ... I can still play the game at a high level. I just have a short period of time and hopefully it doesn't hurt the team. That's the one thing that goes in the back of my mind. They've been there all year. Their timing is a little bit better than mine. I'm having to make fast adjustments for 20 baseball games.

I'm not playing baseball anymore after this. The game (isn't) fun anymore.

I'm in game mode. This is where I want to be. This is what I envisioned all those months I was working to get my knee back where it needed to be.

I just pointed to him just to show him I've got more to my game than just swinging.

He told me, ... to get all I could get out of the game of baseball.

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.
