SAN FRANCISCO ? Barry Bonds blasted former White Sox slugger Ron Kittle, whose recently released book quotes the San Francisco star as saying "I don't sign for white people" before a game at Wrigley Field 12 years ago.
"Who is Kittle? How long did he play? He played in our league?" Bonds said, lying on a clubhouse couch before Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals. "Ha! Do you guys believe that? ... Do you guys know my life history a little bit? ... One, you insult my children, who are half-white.
"I was married to a woman who was white, so let's get real. I don't even know the guy. Tell him he's an ... idiot. Somebody said he wanted a piece of me. Tell him I'm at 24 Willie Mays Plaza and he can come get me anytime he wants to ? with pleasure. Don't insult my family."
In Kittle's book, "Tales from the White Sox Dugout," he writes that he approached Bonds at his locker in the visitors' clubhouse at Wrigley Field about autographing some jerseys to be auctioned for a cancer charity. Kittle retired after the 1991 season, and Bonds and the Giants were in Chicago to face the Cubs.
"It's the truth. I don't lie," Kittle told The Associated Press in a phone interview Tuesday. "I tell it as it is. It's unfortunate it happened. And I didn't bring it up to sell the books."
..............................................................
This just shows the true character and what a
ars hole Bonds really is.
Notice he does not deny saying it and refusing to sign for Kittle. He deflects it saying his children are half white so that makes him not a racist.
Thats pretty weak Barry and has nothing to do with what you said. Think of another good one someone may believe.
To make it worse it was for a cancer charity not for white man Kittle.
Guess Bonds spends his weekends over in Compton signing autographs in the hood instead of around his Malibu estate.
