"I'm happy now that I have more time," Bonds told the crowd at the kickoff event of the Macy's Christmas tree lighting. "I've actually enjoyed myself immensely."
Bonds, honorary chair of this year's lighting, did not talk to reporters and left quickly after giving a brief speech during the 30-minute ceremony. Lights adorning the large tree in Union Square are sold to benefit the UCSF Children's Hospital palliative care program, and nearly $700,000 has been raised during the past five years.
Bonds was questioned by a young patient about potentially returning to baseball.
"I had fun," Bonds said. "But I like my freedom."
Salty's Thoughts: He should enjoy his freedom. He should go to jail for perjury. I am glad he's gone, and hope he stays away.
Your thoughts?
