Barry Bonds wants to be hitting coach
(AP / 10-27-10)

SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Bonds broke Mark McGwire's single-season home run record. Now he wants to follow Big Mac into the coaching profession some day.

Bonds spoke just outside the San Francisco Giants' clubhouse before Game 1 of the World Series against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night. "I love being home. I love being here," he said.

When asked if he'd like to do more than just cheer on his former team in the future, Bonds said he would be interested in becoming a hitting coach in the future.

"I have a gift and sooner or later I have to give it away," Bonds said. "I have to share it. Hopefully I'll get the opportunity here."

"Hopefully I'll get the opportunity here..." Yeah, anything beats prison.

8. If we are talking about baseball Bonds is the bigger poison
BY FAR...I'm beginning to really truly loathe the Giants. Sorry.
