Blog of hockey predictions
Uniforms with No. 25 will be removed from the San Francisco Cants in honor of MLB Home Barry Barry Bonds. The ceremony will take place on 11 August 2018 before the home match predicted by hockey predictions against Pittsburgh Pirates of the regular season. The 53-year-old former outsider spent his career in both teams -7 seasons with `pirates` (1986-1992) and 15 seasons with `giants` (1993-2007). `I`m flattered and embarrassed that Cants will retire my number this season, ` said Bonds, who is currently a special adviser to the club. `I`ve always said this team and his fans are part of my family. As I grew up, Kendallastic Park was my second home, where my father (Bobby Bobby Bonds) and my godfather were playing (Williams Mays), playing on the same field as they were, wearing the same uniformand now my number to be removed from use like that of Willie and the other legends of the team is a very special feeling. Nogo for me during my career, even more so that Dad also wore it. `
Barry Bonds is a 7-time MVP in the National League and a 14-time participant in the Match of Stars, but his image was tarnished by a doping scandal. Although he never gave a positive test and even the court failed to prove the use of anabolic steroids, the veteran would probably never get rid of public doubts. Although he broke Hank Aaron`s legendary 756 home run record on August 7, 2007, and finished his career with a total of 762 home runs, Bonds is not getting enough votes for the Hall of Fame for sixth consecutive year. With the necessary 75% of the votes of the journalists, the maximum is now 56. 4% collected in this year`s poll.
The Bonds trick is the sixth that San Francisco takes off after those of Willie Mays (No. 24), Orlando Sepeda (30), Juan Marichel (27), Willie McCauvy (44) and Gaylord Perry36). Other six of the club legends are honored as players from the predecessor of the New York Cants and their numbers are also not used;Christy Matthews (NY *), John McGraw (NY *), Bill Terry (No. 3), Mel From (No4), Carl Hubble (No. 11) and Monte Jarvin (No. 20). - Matthew and McGrou have played in the first two decades of the twentieth century when baseball numbers have not yet been used. In their honor, `AT u0026 T Park` in San Francisco hang t-shirts with the NY abbreviation.
