Most of these anecdotes are funny, but some are touching rather than humorous

Some samples:

1) When major-league baseball star Barry Bonds was still attending classes and playing games at Arizona State, he visited his grandfather for a while when he had some time off. Unfortunately, when he drove back to Arizona State, his mother called him and let him know that his grandfather had died. Barry said, No, he didn't-I just saw him a couple of hours ago. His grandfather had died while sitting in a chair and watching some recordings of Barry's games. Barry always had a lot of respect for his grandfather, who attended his games when Barry's father, Bobby, couldn't because Bobby was playing major-league baseball. Barry also respected his grandfather because his grandfather had grown up during a time of hatred-the Jim Crow era-and yet his grandfather had not become a hateful man. Barry says, To grow up in those times and not have any hatred, nothing-it's incredible. Barry's grandfather gave him a present that had belonged to his grandfather and that he still has today: a cross on a chain. Barry acquired an excellent work ethic from his family. He worked out five hours a day during the off-season so he could keep in shape for major-league baseball. Even when he shot a movie in Vancouver, his contract stated that he would have time off from filming so he could work out for five hours a day.
