San Francisco Giants legend and Hall of Famer Willie McCovey passed away peacefully Wednesday afternoon at the age of 80 after losing his battle with ongoing health issues.
Barry Bonds opened up about his relationship with his late father, and former San Francisco Giants right fielder Bobby Bonds, during his number retirement ceremony on Saturday evening.
Few people know Barry Bonds – or the Giants – better than Willie Mays. Mays is Bonds’s godfather and was the only person to receive an applause that came close to rivaling the cheers for Bonds.
Hours before Barry Bonds’s number 25 was retired by the Giants, manager Bruce Bochy was asked about his former player – the all-time MLB home run king.
