Depending on who you ask Barry Bonds is the single-season and career home run king. With that said, he wants to take his “gift” of hitting and share it with other as a coach. According to the FanHouse Newswire, Bonds wants to become a hitting coach and he hopeful that the opportunity will come with the San Francisco Giants.

“I love being home. I love being here,” Bonds said.

“I have a gift and sooner or later I have to give it away,” Bonds added. “I have to share it. Hopefully I’ll get the opportunity here.”

Although not officially retired, Bonds last played in the Majors in 2007 and finished his career with 762 home runs. If he eventually joins a big league club as a hitting coach, he’ll join Mark McGwire as a notable steroid-era hitter turned coach. McGwire recently signed on to coach the St. Louis Cardinals for another year.

The 46-year-old Bonds has been accused of taking steroids and will go on trial in March 2011 on charges of lying to a federal grand jury in 2003 when he denied knowingly that he took steroids.
