Would it be an honor to be bestowed Hall of Fame credentials? Yeah. Does it define me as a person? No.

If it took professional wrestling for people to recognize me as a person, then all the other endeavors I embark upon will explain me as a person, define me as a person, but wrestling will not define me.

I'll take anyway to get into the Hall of Fame. If they want a batboy, I'll go in as a batboy.

All along, I've conceded the Hall of Fame would be a nice honor, but it doesn't make me. It's not going to change me and it doesn't add or take away anything from my life.

The biggest honor is proving Andy Warhol wrong; that we can get more than 15 minutes of fame. I am very grateful to Superman and Jimmy Olsen for my 50 years of being remembered.

Being voted into the Hall of Fame is the biggest individual honor in baseball. Being voted in on the first ballot is what cements your place in history as one of the greatest to ever play the game. There are likely to be many voters that will think twice about placing Bonds in that elite company, especially when you consider he's never been the most popular individual with the media.
