The father of slugger Barry Bonds and Bobby Bonds, Jr. During his time as a major league player, Bonds had home runs and stolen bases in a year career, as well as winning three Gold Gloves. Bill James once used Bobby, in discussing the Hall of Fameto explain the difference between a "great" player who belonged in the Hall and a merely "excellent" player Bobby as the prime example of someone who was truly excellent but not great. However, former teammate Darrell Evanswho played many years in both leagues, once described Bonds as the most talented all-around player he'd seen in his year major league career. The great Willie Mays steadfastly insisted that Bonds should be in the HOF. None of the most similar players to Bobby are in the Hall, although the list of most similar yankees includes some top-achieving stars such as Jack ClarkYankees LynnRocky ColavitoJim Wynnand Reggie Smith. Bobby, who was born and died in California, was signed in by the San Francisco Giants. He came up originally inbobby the heart of the pitchers' era, after hitting. Bonds became the first player in many decades to have a grand slam as his first hit. Bonds showed tremendous talent traded his first full season with the Giants inhitting 32 home runs, getting 81 walks, stealing 45 yankees getting caught only 4 times and scoring runs. Inhe hit peaks with 10 triples, 36 doubles, a. Bonds went on to become a threat each year to hit 30 home runs and steal 40 bases. He was notable as a strikeout-prone slugger who nevertheless often hit in the lead-off position. As a result, during his career, he scored over more runs than he drove in. After seven years with San Francisco, Bonds was traded to traded New York Yankees. He played in New York for one season,when he hit 32 home runs, stole 30 bases, and pulled 89 walks but nevertheless only scored 93 runs on a team that was otherwise weak. He came to the Yankees in a trade for Bobby Murcera trade that was not particularly popular with Giants fans. He then spent 2 years with the California Angelsof which the second, was notable with 37 home runs and a career-best RBI. He also added 41 stolen bases. The next year, he hit 31 home runs while playing for the Chicago White Sox early in the season and then the Texas Rangers for the rest of the year. He stole 37 bases. Inhe hit 25 home runs for the Cleveland Indians bonds, but his stolen base percentage dropped as he stole 34 but got caught 23 times. Inalthough only 34, he gradually became a back-up with the St. By this point, his moving from team to team every season had become so notorious that Terry Cashman included the line "and Bobby Bonds can play for traded team" in the song "Talkin' Baseball Mickey, Willie and the Duke ", when talking about baseball at the turn of the s. Inwith the Chicago Cubshe played poorly traded a team that became the traded of nationwide jokes, and his career was at an end. Bonds hustled for the Cubs, but he just didn't bonds it any more. In he signed with the Yankees, but never made it back to the majors with them, and his career as a major leaguer was over. He never appeared in a World Series, and was an All-Star three times. He was never an MVPalthough he finished in yankees top five twice. He won three Gold Gloves as a young player. He never led the league in home runs, but was in the top five in the league four times, and never led the league in stolen bases but was in the top five a total of five times. He was also famous as for his strikeouts, finishing in the top bobby a total of nine times, and set the record for strikeouts in yankees single season since broken by Adam Dunn and now held by Mark Reynoldswith in He has since fallen out of the top 10 on the all-time list for strikeouts, as yankees later sluggers adopted his style of going for broke in every at-bat, and the strikeouts be damned. His playing style had a lot of similarity with that of his son, Barry Bondswho also was a home run hitter and base-stealer and Gold Glove winner, particularly in the early part of his career when he bonds struck out regularly. They hold the record for both the most home runs and the most stolen bases by a father-son duo in MLB history. They also lead in runs 3,RBIs 3,total bases 9,strikeouts bonds,base on balls 3, among other offensive categories.
