Barry Bonds Inducted into Pirates Hall of Fame

Barry Bonds, Jim Leyland, and Manny Sanguillen were inducted into the Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Fame in a ceremony at PNC Park. Bonds, who spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Pirates and became a catalyst for their early 1990s success, expressed deep gratitude for the honor. Leyland, who managed Bonds during those pivotal years, called him the greatest player he ever coached. Both Bonds and Leyland reflected on their shared history and the significance of their induction. Despite Bonds' exclusion from the National Baseball Hall of Fame due to steroid allegations, he remains one of the most accomplished players in MLB history. The induction ceremony was a poignant moment that celebrated their contributions to the team and the sport.
