At the aforementioned event, when Barry Bonds received the award, he said,

“As an honoree, I have a lot of trophies, and I want to present something. The Lifetime Achievement goes to someone more special than me.”

Former Giant Bonds said, “My mother has always been there for us—she’s the one who took me to Little League and made me go play baseball. She never asked for anything.

“We all got trophies, we all got awards, and my mom never wanted to be in the front seat. So this trophy, mom, has your name on it, and the only person in our family that's been a Lifetime Achievement person is you.”

The speech captured the strong bond between mother and son, highlighted how she pushed him in baseball, and his rise as the legendary Barry Bonds. Over his career, he played 22 seasons for the Pirates and Giants with 762 home runs, 1,996 RBIs, and 2,227 runs scored.
