Barry Bonds Regrets Strained Relationship With Media - RealGM Wiretap Barry Bonds broke Hank Aaron's career home run record five years ago and as he becomes eligible for the Hall of Fame for the first time Ryan McDonagh Rangers Jersey , he spoke candidly about his experience with the media. Bonds was often known as a player difficult for reporters to deal with on a daily basis. "I got a ball and I hit it, so in that way there's nothing I would have done differently," said Bonds. "As far as handling the media, I would have done a lot of things differently. The character I created on the field was a different person than the way I was off the field. It was that person that made me perform. It gave me the push to perform. Whether you hated me or loved me, you came to see that person or that show. And with the media, I needed space. When the first thing that happens after you get to the clubhouse every day is questions about the chase or how you feel, I'll admit it now that it was hard for me to deal with and I could've done it a lot better. That's a lot for one individual. You're going to snap. It's hard when you have to do that every day for 162 days. Add Spring Training. It would be tough for anyone." Bonds was also asked how he feels about his status on Hall of Fame ballots. "I respect the Hall of Fame, don't get me wrong. I really Mika Zibanejad Jersey , really, really respect the Hall of Fame. And I think we all do. I love the city of San Francisco and to me that's my Hall of Fame. I don't worry about it because I don't want to be negative about the way other people think it should be run. That's their opinion, and I'm not going to be negative. I know I'm going to be gone one day. If you want to keep me out, that's your business. My things are here in San Francisco. These are the people who love me. This is where I feel I belong. This is where I want to belong. If [the voters] want to put me in there, so be it, fine. If they don't, so be it, fine." Bonds was asked if he feels he belongs in the Hall of Fame. "Oh Michael Grabner Jersey , without a doubt. There's not a doubt in my mind." ? Dogs are social, active creatures that like people need attention, activity, structure and in many cases a job! Without daily interaction with your dog trouble will ensue! Bored and neglected dogs get frustrated which can manifest itself in a variety of ways to include acting out with behavior problems by being destructive in the home, not to mention health issues such as being over weight and depressed. A while ago I adopted a nine-year-old Queensland Heeler who was clearly down in the dumps. She had spent the last few years left to her own devices in the back yard, excluded from family life in the house, she was only walked occasionally. She was overweight, her coat was dull and she seemed older than her years. My heart went out to this girl Antti Raanta Jersey , especially when I found out in addition to being in bad condition she suffered from acute separation anxiety. This was a very intelligent dog that needed some life and a sense of purpose breathed back into her, so it became my mission to cheer her up. Hiking became a part of our daily routine, the exercise did us both good. After she relentlessly shoved tennis balls in my lap I discovered she was a ballaholic, so then came regular trips to the dog park where I stood endlessly throwing the ball for an exuberant dog! As a herding breed her true calling was to herd cattle, so off we went to herding classes where she got to round up sheep. Now we had a hobby together that we both looked forward to. Within a matter of months this down trodden dog was transformed and I had developed a great bond with her. The years and the weight seemed to melt off her, there was sheen to her coat and a glint in her eyes, her energy was back and so was her confidence! When we make that commitment to bring a dog into our lives it is vital that we provide daily activity and stimulation for this member of the family. There are all kinds of activities that can be incorporated into your lifestyle and daily exercise routine, the level and type of activity best suited to the dog will be determined by the breed of dog. For example a Border Collie has a lot of energy and requires a great deal of physical and mental activity Jimmy Vesey Jersey , they excel in both agility and herding as it challenges them mentally and physically. On the other hand a Basset Hound has a low energy level and would be satisfied with a mild day walk. In return for providing daily activity to your dog?s life you will be greatly rewarded by the bond that you develop with your dog, you will also benefit from living with a happy, healthy, confident and well mannered dog. Who knows, you may even discover a new hobby together! Here are a few activity suggestions for you and your canine companion: Dog Park ?

Running ? Need a running partner, interested in cross-country running? Certain dogs can fulfill this role and will provide great camaraderie. The Beach ? I have yet to meet a dog that does not enjoy a good invigorating run on the sand, play with the tide, chase the birds Nick Holden Jersey , what Retriever doesn?t like to swim and fetch a stick from the water?
