Bobby Bonds, not Barry, once again gets a plaque in the converted tractor shed. He is the 32nd player to be inducted into both HOF.

Bonds was the firt pick overall in 1999. Selected by the Devil Rays, the two parties did not come to terms and he returned to the draft pool for 2000.

The Giants selected him with the 7th overall pick and, not surprisingly, he did sign a deal with them.

Bonds had a shooting star type of HOF career. He played through the 2014 season and logged 12 1/2 years of ML time in that span.

He burst on to the scene in 2001 with a ROY award winning season in which he hit .308 with 40 HRs and 113 RBI in 124 games. A .397 OBP and .634 slg gave him a npa OPS+ of 175. He also stole 31 bases in 39 attempts.

In 2005 he jacked 72 HRs, drove in 151, scored 152, and collected 202 hits...all career highs. His slash line of 313/388/705 gave him a career high npa OPS+ of 194.

8 times he drove in 100+ runs in a seasons. 7 times he scored 100+ runs. He was a 7 time All Star and picked up one GG in RF. 10 times he hit 30 or more HRs.

His career slash line of 286/368/565 gives him a solid HOF career npa OPS+ of 149. He hit 469 HRs (59th), drove in 1291 (95th) and scored 1275 (88th, one more than Dutch Zwilling) while collecting a cool looking 1818 hits. Bonds also stole 273 career bases. Known in RL for his propensity to K, Bonds struck out 1656 times (72nd) in his 6360 ABs.

Bonds appeared in 7 post seasons, appeared in one WS, but holding to family tradition, he did not win a title. He did hit 7 HRs in the 2011 post season, but his Rangers fell to the Dodgers in 5.

Bonds enters the HOF at the age of 65 by virtue of his HOFm number being above the Hall average.

-----------------------------

John Mayberry Sr was selected with the 8th overall pick in the 2015 draft by the Minnesota Twins. At the age of 18, n his 2016 rookie season, he hit 31 HRs in just 91 games. That foretold what was to come. Mayberry played through the 2034 season and ended his career with 695 HRs, the most in league history, at the time of his induction. He also had 1877 career RBI (9th) and scored 1654 runs (11th).

Like classmate Bonds, Mayberry was a 7 time All Star and had 7 seasons scoring 100+ runs. He bested Bonds in 100 RBI seasons, performing the feat 10 times in his career.

Aside from the SB differential (Mayberry had 9 in his career) their careers are somewhat similar except for the fact that Mayberry played longer.

Mayberry's best season totals came in 2022 when he had career highs in HRs (60), RBI (139), R (135), and BB (120) and slashed 277/409/649 for a npa OPS+ of 182.

He had a career slash line of 271/383/55 for a npa OPS+ of 154. He was plunked 209 times in his career, which boosted his OBP figure a few notches.

Also, like Bonds, Mayberry was never able to capture a WS win. Unlike Bonds, in 4 trips to the post season, he never made it to the Fall Classic.

Mayberry enters the HOF with his Gray Ink, HOFm and HOFs numbers all above the Hall averages.

Black Ink: 13 (5)
Gray Ink: 150 (71)
HOFm: 174.5 (20)
HOFs: 56 (16)
