Barry Bonds speaks out about his expulsion from the Basketball Hall of Fame
Legendary American baseball player Barry Bonds, who played for the Major League Pittsburgh Pirates and San Francisco Giants, appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area as a left-handed outfielder. In a conversation with host Stephen Bishop, he spoke frankly about his exclusion from the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
In particular, in the Hollywood Swingin podcast, Bonds told the hosts that this situation does not matter to him because he knows who he really is. "And the other thing is that there was a court case that I won. And people should know about it. I am more concerned about the lack of support in my sport," the player said.
Bonds was denied his spot in Cooperstown after not being on the list of baseball experts for 10 years. This group consists of Major League stars, MLB executives, and media representatives, and gives players who are not included in the traditional voting process an opportunity to enter the Hall of Fame.
Barry Bonds, a seven-time MVP (Most Valuable Player), 14-time All-Star and eight-time Gold Glove winner, finished his career with a record 762 home runs, 2,935 runs batted in and 514 runs scored. Doping drugs did not allow him to get into the Hall of Fame even once in the last ten years.
