Although Bonds has achieved a lot in his career, he was never able to win a World Series title. Over a career that spanned 22 years, Bonds only made the postseason 7 times. Bonds still had a historic career and will be remembered as an iconic figure in baseball. He has had several special moments over the years and a picture of him with two huge celebrities is one of them.
