Barry Bonds Reveals His Exceptional Clubhouse Activities to Fans
Though Bonds has always been like an open book without any secrets to hide, there are still a few things that fans are curious about, and his clubhouse experiences are one of them. This legend’s controversial nature had always prevented him from having a friendly environment in the Clubhouse. So, it made fans more curious about how he used to spend his time there. During his career and even after his retirement, Bonds used to talk about issues openly in public, so when he was asked about his Ballpark experience, he shared a surprising fact without hesitation.
Recently, he sat on an interview with R2C2, named “Barry Bonds’ Love For Baseball, The Art of Hitting, and a Forever Legacy | R2C2 – Full Episode.” Here, they have been talking casually about Bonds’ career, his evolution to become a power hitter, his preparation to face pitchers, etc.
At one point, the hosts asked him about his routine when he went to the Ballpark. The 14x All-Star laughed and replied, “Yeah, I went to sleep.” Bursting into laughter, he continued, “Any player that played with me, any team, they’ll all tell you. What did Barry do at the ballpark? He went to the gym, he went to sleep. If you want to know my routine, I was asleep most of the time at the clubhouse.” This is indeed a unique response from a player who used to be the most fierce hitter of his time.
Barry Bonds never did follow others’ rules; even his teammates got annoyed with him. So, when other players prepare strategies before appearing in a game, Bonds sleeps the entire time and wakes up 30 minutes before the match.
