CHICAGO - One of the weirdest nights of my career happened in 2002, in San Diego, after the big dugout fight between Jeff Kent and Barry Bonds. Bonds ducked out of the clubhouse at Qualcomm Stadium, but Kent hung around to talk.
He did not get into the Xs and Os of a fight that ended up with Bonds shoving Kent against the wall, but he did discuss his often-tense relationship with Bonds.
I'll never forget one thing Kent said, that he and Bonds fought far more than anyone realized, sometimes to the team's benefit. Kent said he once hit a grand slam shortly after one of their physical altercations.
