The name "Bonds" is synonymous with baseball greatness. Following in the footsteps of his late father, Bobby and godfather, Willie Mays, Barry Bonds, the living legend and power hitter for the San Francisco Giants has over 700 home runs - within striking range of Babe Ruth for second place on the all-time home run list. A dominant force in the game over the past 20 years, Bonds has crafted one of the finest careers the game has ever seen, a collection of feats that has permanently etched his name into baseball history. From sports icon to commercial spokesperson along with his philanthropic missions, Barry Bonds proves to be one of the most recognizable sports figures in the country. It is his longevity as a superstar and all-around greatness that will navigate his course to the Hall of Fame.

Superstar Athlete

In Nov. 2004, Bonds was honored with his unprecedented seventh National League Most Valuable Award. Bonds made his Fall Classic debut at the 2002 World Series, where he slammed a home run at his very first at bat, which was a precursor to his record-setting series. During the 2001 season, at the age of 37, Bonds sculpted one of the finest seasons in big league history, breaking baseball's most hallowed record when he blasted his 71st and 72nd home runs on October 5, 2001 at Pacific Bell Park and ended the season as the new home run king with 73 homers. A 13-time All-Star, Barry has captured numerous records as well as dozens of accolades, including being named the The Sporting News' "Player of the Decade" for the 1990's. Since Bonds' arrival in San Francisco in 1993, he has played an instrumental role in leading the Giants to five division titles and the 2002 National League Pennant.

A Giant in the Community

A devout family man, it was Barry's love and devotion to his children that led him to launch the Bonds Family Foundation with the goal to encourage, promote and fund programs designed to improve educational achievements, standard of living and quality of life for underprivileged youth in the Bay Area. Bonds, the recipient of the 1999 Philanthropist of the Year Award by the National Conference on Black Philanthropy, embraces today's technology as the gateway to opportunity. It is due to his conviction towards education that the foundation established the Link n' Learn program and "Bridge to the Future" campaign as well as the Bonds Private School Scholarship Fund. Prior to the 2002 Winter Games, Bonds participated in the Olympic Torch relay, carrying the torch through the final portion of the San Francisco leg and lit the cauldron, which became one of his proudest moments as an American.
