"But I'm not going to walk Barry Bonds, like some teams do, in the first inning with nobody on"

Frank Robinson's quote is a statement of his commitment to managing his team with integrity and respect. He is saying that he will not provide favoritism to Barry Bonds, among the greatest players of all time, by intentionally strolling him in the very first inning with no one on base. This is a sign of regard for the game and for the opposing team, as it reveals that Robinson is not afraid to let Bonds struck and show his ability. It also reveals that Robinson is confident in his group's ability to get Bonds out, even if it means giving him a chance to strike. Robinson's quote is a testament to his commitment to fair play and his regard for the video game of baseball.
