Bonds looked surprised but amused by the situation as A-Rod couldn’t contain his laughter. “You got me Driving Miss Daisy,” Bonds joked, referencing the classic film about an African-American chauffeur driving a white woman in the segregated South. “Times have changed,” he added before A-Rod hailed Bonds as “the GOAT” and thanked him for the “great Uber service in San Fran baby.”
