PITTSBURGH (AP) — Barry Bonds was touched in a way he didn't expect when the Pittsburgh Pirates called to let him know he was being inducted into the club's Hall of Fame.
So when the moment arrived on Saturday, Bonds leaned into it.
He donned a gold jacket alongside fellow inductees Jim Leyland and Manny Sanguillen. He posed for pictures in front of the plaque that bears his name in a plaza just inside the left-center field gates at PNC Park.
And Major League Baseball's home run king insisted he didn't think about that other Hall of Fame, the one that's proved elusive nearly two decades after Bonds hit the last of his record 762 homers.
