Ten years to the day after he broke Hank Aaron's home run record
on Aug. 7, 2007, Barry Bonds was back at the ballpark. I got the only interview with him
before he did a TV spot hours later. But our chat led to this exclusive AP story. I worked hard on this tricky working relationship over many years. Each interaction presents its challenges.
The previous time I saw him at a Warriors game, he told me: "No interview, Janie. I've been inviting you to go cycling for two years and you haven't held up your end of the bargain." To which I said, "Barry, I need a chaperone to be alone with you." And we parted ways. When I saw him this time, he told me how much he respects me for ALWAYS standing up to him when others don't.
