Overview
- Giants CEO Larry Baer confirmed during a radio interview that a statue of Barry Bonds is planned as the next addition outside Oracle Park.
- Bonds spent 15 seasons in San Francisco and holds the MLB all-time home run record with 762, including seven MVP awards, 14 All-Star selections and eight Gold Gloves.
- The team has not announced a timeline or exact placement for the statue as final planning continues.
- Despite his on-field achievements, allegations of steroid use have kept Bonds out of the Baseball Hall of Fame and continue to complicate his legacy.
- The new tribute will join statues of Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Orlando Cepeda, Juan Marichal and Gaylord Perry already displayed around the ballpark.
