San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie has declared February 5, 2025, as "Barry Bonds Day" to honor the Giants legend, whose number is 25. This recognition follows a similar tribute last year to Willie Mays, who wore number 24 and passed away in June 2023. Bonds expressed his gratitude during the ceremony, highlighting the significance of the numbers and his desire to make his godfather, Mays, proud. Mayor Lurie praised Bonds for his on-field achievements and his dedication to community service, especially among the youth.
It is such a great honor to be able to stand up here for 25/25. And, 24/24. I think I'mma try not and cry to the - like godfather like son, is great.
Mayor Lurie says Bonds was honored for his contributions to baseball and everything he has given to San Francisco, including his community work with young people.
