I started in the 2001 season so Bonds was a free agent signee for me in the offseason following my first year. He sent me an email in 2004 that he was going to retire. At first I just was a little disappointed as he was just reaching 700 HR's. Sometime during that year I realized that it was also the last year of his contract. Now, I decided that I should just see if he would sign in extension so if he actually decides to play another year he will do with me. He did sign with me, but unfortunately his skills started to leave him that same year, soon after his 40th birthday. He did end up retiring anyway even with the contract extension. Luckily I only signed him to a one year extension. Hmm.. now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder, did he give me the money back?
