Barry Bonds and controversies are the two sides of the same coin. This talented baseball player had dominated the baseball world during his career, but his behavior was always been criticized everywhere. Mostly, people couldn’t insult him in the face, but once he received an appropriate response for his behavior.

The situation was created by the notorious baseball legend, but he couldn’t probably think of receiving the answer he got. Jeff Pearlman recorded a required lesson that Bonds once learned brutally after signing with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Barry Bonds Was Commanded to Get Out For His Rudeness and Pride

The Home Run King was always been one of the most disputed players in the MLB world. Be it inside the clubhouse or outside, his behavior always put him in news. His activities often seem a bit impolite to others. In Love Me Hate Me: Barry Bonds, the author accounts for many instances where his teammates and companions got into trouble because of him. They even complained about it years after during their interviews. However, there’s one incident the author registered where even the controversial Bonds was not spared by his manager and immediately asked to leave the place.

After Bonds signed the contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1985, he was sent to Prince William Pirates of the Class A Carolina League. It was located a little away from Washington, D.C. Though, for Bonds, confrontation with managers and teammates would become a regular thing later, it was the first time he felt humiliated after entering Ed Ott’s chamber without knocking.

He was taught a lesson on how to behave properly when entering someone’s chamber. The author described the event on page no. 77 of the book, “Barry’s first lesson in this regard came when he reported to Prince William, entered Ott’s office unannounced, and proclaimed, ‘I’m Barry Bonds, the number one draft pick.’ Ott spun around in his chair. ‘I’m Ed Ott and I’m your manager,’ he said. ‘Now get your fu**in’ a** out that door, and don’t come in until you knock.”

For anyone else, this lesson would be enough to remember for the rest of their life, but the Power Hitter was always at the top of controversies throughout his career, ended becoming a loner.
