Russ Springer retires


"The reasoning behind it stays in the locker room among teammates."

On why he drilled Barry Bonds in the back with a pitch on May 14, 2006.

I remember that for one day he was my favorite player.

He was with the Phils for a year or two I think. I always respected him. THat day (with Houston I think) was the best.

Yes it was with Houston. Kept throwing at him until he hit him with the fifth pitch. As it was the fifth pitch, at least one was a strike so he really had Bonds thinking.
