Roberto Martin Antonio Bonilla was born February 23rd, 1963, in the South Bronx of New York City, to parents Roberto Sr. and Regina Bonilla. The Bonilla’s lived near the infamous 40th precinct in the Bronx, an area known for robberies and homicides and not many success stories, but Bobby knew he was destined to play Professional baseball.
