"Ronald Dale (Ron) Kittle" (born January 5, 1958) is a former left fielder and designated hitter in Major League Baseball. He was known for his home run hitting power, in particular line-drive rooftop home runs (7, an MLB record) at Comiskey Park, and was named the 1983 Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year Award/AL Rookie of the Year. From 1982 through 1991, Kittle played for the Chicago White Sox (1982–86, 1989, 1991), New York Yankees (1986–87), Cleveland Indians (1988) and Baltimore Orioles (1990). He batted and threw right-handed. Kittle was also a manager for the minor league Schaumburg Flyers.

Obviously, I'm not gonna read the book. Hey, I didn't even want to read my book.

It's the truth. I don't lie. I tell it as it is. It's unfortunate it happened. And I didn't bring it up to sell the books.

They have big hearts. And they will go on to win it all.

He's such a good player that people hope it's not true. But all the evidence keeps pointing in his direction. I really don't think he should be allowed to play this year ... banished, absolutely.

I go out of my way to do things for people. I would have rather had him say, 'Maybe another time.' I would have been all for it.

Barry, if you sign these, they'll bring in a lot of money for kids who need help.

I'm not upset that he got caught because these allegations came out before. But they still let him play, while all the other people who were accused of it are out of the game. That probably bothers me more.

This was one of the rotten things that happened.

If it weren't pertaining to my charity, I probably would have cared less and just said he was a jerk. But when there is a chance for me to do something or for his signature to do something for charity, I won't stand for that. It's ironic that his dad (former big-league star Bobby Bonds) died of cancer too.
