Inclusion in the Hall of fame is an honor for every baseball player, and almost everyone who has contributed to the sport dreams for this day. However, in Barry Bonds case, he never really got selected even after multiple eligibility years. Over a year ago, the SF Giants player appeared for his 10th and final eligibility year for the Baseball Writers’ Association of America’s Hall of Fame ballot. However, his fortunes have continued to decline. Overwhelmed by emotions, he confided in his lifelong friend, expressing his viewpoint on the situation.

Around two years back, the 7x MVP sat down with his dear friend for an episode of EXCLUSIVE: BARRY BONDS Like You’ve Never Seen or Heard Him Before, expressing his honest comments about why he doesn’t care about his non-inclusion in the HoF.

Ken Goldin, during his unfiltered interview with this baseball legend, brought the topic, and Bonds initially tried to avoid that topic, saying he didn’t want to be a media topic for a story.
