Barry Bonds isn’t a Hall of Famer, but that won’t stop the San Francisco Giants from retiring his number. With his voting numbers leveling off somewhat and only four remaining years of eligibility, it looks more and more likely that Bonds won’t get into Cooperstown. The Giants normally only reserve this honor for players in the Hall of Fame, but Bonds is a special exception.
The Giants’ official Twitter account began teasing something regarding Bonds on Monday, first posting a tweet that removed the slash in the date (2/5) to show 25. Later in the day, they showed a 25 jersey being photographed.
