Barry Bonds Addresses Wild Rumors of Going Down the Derek Jeter Route With an Exciting Update

Major League Baseball has seen a number of great players come and go that have changed the course of history. Among names like Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Alex Rodriguez, and Derek Jeter stand Barry Bonds. The undisputed home run king, the only player in the league that has hit 762 career homers. Seven-time NL MVP, 14 All-Star games, 12 Silver Slugger awards – and whatnot. But with immense fame came an equally dark side of his career.

Now considered a controversial figure in baseball, Bonds was accused of using steroids and PEDs during his time in MLB. Given that history, some of his fans turned into haters while some stayed loyal. Needless to say, the left fielder led an interesting life that many want to know more about. And the icon just gave an exciting update on social media.

Barry Bonds may be releasing a new documentary about his time in Major League Baseball

The former San Francisco Giants player has quite a social media presence. In a recent Instagram post, Bonds announced his intentions regarding a new documentary about himself. At first, he dispelled rumors of a different party approaching his friends and family for a project. Then he confirmed that although he had nothing to do with that particular story, he was planning something “bigger and better”.

Another famous ballplayer that’s done this is, of course, former Yankees captain Derek Jeter. His docuseries, aptly called The Captain was released in 2022 to much acclaim.

Maybe it’s easy to be entertained when one is not directly involved in a situation. But whatever the reason, real-life stories have always been fascinating to watch, if viewer ratings are anything to go by. The new Bonds documentary will surely drive fans in hordes to watch it, just as it did with the previous one.

The new documentary might differ from the ESPN version

In 2021, the last year of Bonds’ Hall Of Fame eligibility, ESPN released a documentary called “Bonds” that looked into the all-time and single-season home run leader. Bonds himself was not interviewed, but it looks like things might change this time around. Given his somewhat confrontational behavior with the media in the past, maybe ESPN didn’t feel right interviewing him.
