When Barry Bonds' Hall of Fame case was made by legendary MLB and NFL player who called him the best he has ever seen

Legendary MLB and NFL player Deion Sanders is Barry Bonds' biggest supporter. He once slammed voters for not inducting Bonds into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

"Barry Bonds is the best baseball player I've ever seen... it's an atrocity what they're doing with him in the Hall of Fame," Deion Sanders said.

Sanders, also commonly known as "Prime Time," spent 14 seasons in the NFL and nine seasons in the MLB. He once recognized his former teammate Bonds when he posted a photo with him on Instagram.

The black and white image was of himself and Bonds. The caption that accompanied the photo stated "arguably the best baseball player ever."

Barry Bonds' perjury case

Bond's perjury case concerned allegations that he used anabolic steroids and the investigations that followed these claims. Bonds was found guilty of one felony count of obstructing justice on April 13, 2011, as a result of his insufficient response to a question during his grand jury testimony. Three more perjury accusations were dismissed after a mistrial was declared on those three counts.
