Barry Bond's love for multiple sports 

During the interview, "Forever Giants: Barry Bonds" Bonds shared his multifaceted love for sports. He said, “Not at first. No, it was just to ride my big wheel down the hill, skateboard. I played hockey, we used to ice skate every Friday, you know what I mean? At Belmont Ice skating rink. When I was a little kid, we used to cardboard slide down the hill and I wanted to be like this, the number one best cardboard slider. We used to rope swing off the cliffs, which is crazy nowadays. But you had the downhill, and we used to tie ropes up on these trees and swing and see how far we could swing.”
