Famous Quotes & Sayings

Willie Roaf

Detroit needs to go sign Barry Sanders for just one more week. It's going to be tough.

I've always liked P.F. Sloan's 'Eve Of Destruction.' It's the performance by the singer, Barry McGuire, and, um, I would say it's also the chord progression and melody.

Reggie Hayes

Stoops' reputation was reduced from 'pure genius' to 'smarter than Barry Switzer but not nearly as smarmy.'

I spent a lot of time with Barry discussing his motivation, why he'd want to do the show. We had to make sure our vision was compatible, that I would have the opportunity as a filmmaker to have creative controls and be autonomous.

DeAngelo Williams

I've been compared to him and a couple of other guys, but that's a great compliment. Barry Sanders, pound for pound, is the best running back to ever play the game.

Jeff Kent

Things are happening for Barry right now and nobody else needs to be included.

Jeff Kent

That's not an excuse. Me and Barry fought all the time and we went to the World Series.

You've still got to respect and fear Barry Bonds. He can do great things, even if he hasn't seen a live pitch.

Charles Scott

You see a kid like Justin-Siena's Brett Wallace (who hit 12 homers in 75 at-bats last season as a high school senior) you are going to be curious. (In) the majors, there are actually very few guys with plus power. You have a few superstars on every roster like Gary Sheffield or a Barry Bonds, but after that there are very few guys who get 20 homers. Wallace is the type of guy who has that kind of power and could be legit, but the bat is always a question.

Erich Bergen

I get tips from Bob Gaudio. And one of my songs somehow caught the attention of one of my idols, Marty Panzer, who wrote big hits for Barry Manilow. So two guys who inspired me to write lyrics are now teaching me to write.

Omar Vizquel

Everything Barry Bonds says is multiplied. People talk about everything and every comment he makes. I'm pretty sure other players have said (they're retiring) too, and people don't even care. 'Oh, you are? Good luck.' But this is Barry Bonds.

Willie Randolph

Every situation is totally different for me. Every team that faces Barry Bonds has the same dilemma. You just pick your spots in the course of the game and you try to make the right decision and hope that it's executed. It's no different than any other team. Obviously, he's still a presence and obviously he's still one of the best hitters in the game and you have to be very conscious of him.

Will Leitch

Every single sports reporter covering the San Francisco Giants in the late 1990s and the early part of this decade thought that Barry Bonds was on steroids.

Judd Nelson

Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe?

We fully supported his position to play in the WBC. He had a change of heart, and it's an individual decision. On one level, we'd all like to have Barry play. It's a great showcase, but there's an understanding of his point of view as well.

Brian Smith

You have to pay homage to the spirit and skill of both those guys and Barry got us out of jail today.

Moises Alou

To me, he can get here whenever he feels he is ready because whenever he walks into this field he'll perform the way Barry has performed all of the time.

The reason is what we just did here at the end of practice. If you take Kevin Barry and put him in at tackle, you're not moving it 65 yards downfield in a critical, critical situation.

Brian Sabean

The organization has no comment or opinion until we talk to Barry directly. There's no need. It's a non-issue.

Julia Gillard

There is some merit in some of the things Barry says,

Barry Bonds

The record is Hank's until someone passes it. Whoever that person is, I wish them well. If it happens to be me, that's it. It's just having the opportunity. You hope you can inspire some little kid somewhere down the road to say, 'I want to break Hank's record, I want to break Barry Bonds' record.' That's all the record really means to me.

There's such a dark cloud over this, it's disappointing. As a kid, you wondered who'd be the next guy to pass Ruth or maybe Aaron. We're talking about a great, great player in Barry Bonds, but there's that black cloud, and I just think we all wish it could go away.

Mike Cameron

There's not one guy who can do that but Barry Bonds. That would be selfish for me to do something like that.

There are only a few bumps and bruises now, ... I am optimistic Barry will play and there is no problem with Steven Pressley.

Omar Vizquel

Obviously Barry is being the target of it because of the home run chase.

Chase Utley

Nobody should be satisfied in this game. Maybe Barry Bonds, but maybe even he wants to be better.

Barry Goldwater

Nixon should get his ass out of the White House-Today! Barry M

Felipe Alou

Barry was supposed to go four at-bats, but we had some long innings at night. I just didn't think one more at-bat or one trip to the outfield was going to do that much. He got a good workout.

Barry was really good, and he was good yesterday. He's been really focused. We knew he's had the talent all year. He showed some spurts midway through the season, and late in the season, he's giving us good minutes. He has the talent, and now he's figuring out what to do with it.

Barry was not at his best that day and he knows it. Like I said the other day, he's one of the major reasons we're in a 2-2 series now. People shouldn't forget he played very well in the first three games. We expect him to bounce back in a positive way and (tonight) I'm giving him an opportunity to redeem himself.

Eric Chavez

Barry was my childhood hero growing up, and what he's going through I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. But as far as this being race-related? I totally disagree. If Big Mac (Mark McGwire) was playing, he'd be in the same boat. This is a case where if there is a beast, you chop the beast's head off. That happens to be Barry. I think we all want to see the end of the story. I want the right information.
