Barry Bonds Live Tweet Fest

Barry Bonds is presenting Andrew McCutchen his NL MVP Award today. The tweets surrounding the events are pretty cool, pretty funny, and always interesting. We tried to increase everyone’s knowledge with our very own.

We bet you didn’t know this about Barry Bonds and today’s starter for the Chicago Cubs.

David Todd with the timeline tweet…

Assuming on-field events start on time, this Bonds, Leyland, Wilson presser is going to be short. Supposed to start at noon & not here yet.

And then just when everyone thought the picture of Barry Bonds at PNC Park would hit….the Pirates sent out this.

Still waiting…..so we found this pic of Bonds and Willie Stargell for you to enjoy. Good times? Or is that Willie just doing what he has to do for the cameras? C’mon. Stargell loved Bonds.

DK again

Bonds expects a ‘cheerful’ response when announced. ‘We’re ballplayers. We had fun, had some good teams. I hope that’s appreciated.‘
