Bobby Bonds

Bobby Bonds was born on this day in 1946.

He was a great ballplayer. He had power and speed and charisma. Bobby starred for the Giants, the Yankees, and the Angels.

And yes, he also played for the Cubs. Notice I didn't say he starred for the Cubs. In fact, he was god awful.

Bobby, of course, was also Barry's dad. During Bobby's long illness, Barry even showed actual streaks of humanity. Bobby passed away in 2003.
