Bonds talked briefly just after leaving the Giants clubhouse about a half-hour before the game. When asked if he’d like to do more than just cheer on his former team, Bonds said he would be interested in becoming a hitting coach in the future like Mark McGwire is doing in St. Louis.
“I have a gift and sooner or later I have to give it away,” Bonds said. “I have to share it. Hopefully I’ll get the opportunity here.”

Wow. From hearing him talk the last several years and hearing people close to him talk, it really sounded like he'd never want to go on the road again. I'd love for him to be the Giants coach, but I wonder if he is too good as a hitter to be a coach. It's similar to people who can do calculus naturally but have no idea how to tutor someone.
I don't even think Bonds has retired, so he'll probably want to be a coach and on the 40 man roster.
