That Wall of Fame

The Giants honored Barry Bonds with a plaque on their wall of fame:

Nearly 1,000 fans lined up behind barricades not far from the players’ entrance at AT&T Park to witness a 40-minute ceremony honoring Bonds. Several of Bonds’ former teammates were on hand, as was Giants manager Bruce Bochy, along with Hall of Famers Willie McCovey and Willie Mays, who is Bonds’ godfather.

With his mother, Pat, along with his three children seated on stage nearby, Bonds joined former Giants owner Peter Magowan and current chief executive officer Larry Bear in the unveiling of the plaque, which features Bonds’ face in the middle flanked by action shots of him on either side.

Bonds never lost the fans in San Francisco.
