Born in a family with baseball sporting history, it was inevitable for Barry Bonds to take up the same. It can be convincingly said that baseball ran in his bloods, with his father and godfather being legendary players in their own right. A child prodigy, Bonds took to the game as early as his high school years and launched himself professionally in 1986 with the Pittsburgh Pirates. No sooner than in 1993, he switched to San Francisco Giants, a team for which his father and godfather played. In his a little over two decades of career, Bonds became a player of international repute. At the time of retirement, he had 14 times achieved the All Star status and was a winner of 8 Golden Gloves. Additionally, he had several records to his credit including most career home runs at 762, most home runs in a single season at 73, most career walks in 2,558, and most career intentional walks 688. Games apart, he made his debut as an actor making a cameo appearance in the baseball film ‘Rookie of the Year’.
