Health problems [edit]
In a 2008 interview for USA Today, Bonin discussed ongoing health effects and memory problems that had plagued him since head injuries had ended his umpiring career. Bonin took three blows to the head over his last three seasons; the first two caused Bonin to miss significant time on the field and the third led to his retirement in 2001.[2]
