Barry Bonds was born into a family with a baseball sporting background, thus it was unavoidable that he would follow in their footsteps.

Bonds began playing baseball in his high school years and debuted professionally in 1986 with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He switched to the San Francisco Giants, the team for whom his father and godfather both played, as early as 1993.

Bonds rose to worldwide prominence during the course of his career, which spanned a little more than two decades. At the time of his retirement, he had 14 All-Star appearances and had won 8 Golden Gloves.

He also set other marks, including the most career home runs (762), the most home runs in a single season (73), the most career walks (2,558), and the most career deliberate walks (688).

Aside from sports, he made his acting debut with a cameo in the baseball film ‘Rookie of the Year’.
