No word better describes Bobby Bonilla’s baseball career than “potential.” He was selected as an All-Star six times. Bonilla won three Silver Slugger Awards while a Pirate. Toward the end of his career, he helped lead the Florida Marlins to an improbable World Series triumph. In spite of all this success, Bonilla seemed trapped inside a bubble of bigger expectations. In 1999, his last year with the Mets, Bonilla had agreed to have his contract bought out and accepted deferred payments that would begin in 2011 and continue until 2035. On July 1 of each year he receives a check for $1,193,248.20 from the Mets on what the media refers to as “Bobby Bonilla Day.” - SABR
Filling out the facegens for the teams in my sim and I thought Bobby Bo's head was too big... tweaked the fg accordingly. The in-game weight will never let him fit in that old Pirates uniform again but it was the width of the cheekbones that caused me to tweak it.

Looking forward to using this one in my Bucs save in about 75 seasons' time...
