Famous Quotes & Sayings

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.

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.
