Bobby Bonds passed away yesterday. MLB.com has a fine tribute to his memory.
A five-time member of the 30-30 club, three-time all-star and three-time Gold Glove winner, Bobby finished his 14-year career with 322 homers and 461 steals. He would have been the first player to achieve 40-40 if not for a home run erased in a rain shortened 1973 game, finishing with 39 HR and 43 SB that season. And of course, he's part of the most prolific father-son combination in baseball history.
Our sympathy to the Bonds family and to all the other friends he leaves behind. Bobby will be missed.
