Rob Baughman Quotations

With what Barry Bonds might accomplish this year, I think (the steroid allegations) taint it a little bit. How many would he have really hit now? It's not going to improve his hand-eye coordination, but would the baseball have gone that far if he wouldn't have been using steroids?

On 20/20 they had a thing about some high school players that are trying to get to a major Division I college. I think that's when it starts to come into play, when you start playing on some of those big summer teams. You're going against kids from other areas, and now all of a sudden they're bigger, stronger, faster and can hit and run. Then you find out they're on steroids, so they start to do it.

I'd like to see them do a really in-depth look at Barry Bonds just from everything you read and everything you hear. I'd really like to see what they're going to do about him. Me personally, if he does it, I think they should use him as an example.

We talk about it, and we inform our kids about the risk of these steroids. Since I've been here, we've never even had an inkling of anything like that happen at our school personally. I'm sure they know kids who do them or can have access to them, but as far as the kids on our team ? no.

Both of them were throwing well, and they were throwing strikes. They hit their spots, and they don't make any mistakes. When you only have two hits you're not going to beat a good team.

That two-run homer in the first inning kind of deflated us a little bit. We started out walking two or three guys, and then they made us pay. That's the way it goes sometimes.

I don't know if you saw the big article in Sports Illustrated , but I read it, and he pretty much bragged about it and said he's going to do it. He's going to break every record there is, and he's going to do it by using steroids. And I don't think that's right.
