Barry Bonds admitted Monday that his reputation is “iffy” and that “I created that guy out there for entertainment only. Whether you hated me or liked me, you were there.”
Five years removed from his playing days and 14 months from his felony obstruction conviction, Bonds wouldn’t mind improving his public image.
The home-run king took in his first Giants game of the season, a 4-2 victory over the Diamondbacks at China Basin, and told reporters before the game he’s interested in returning to the organization to help big-leaguers and minor-leaguers. For now, he said his focus is on his new sport, cycling, and assisting kids’ charities – he was at the game with Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bay Area, which provides support for children facing adversity.
