*** FAILED PSA

Before anyone ever talked about steroids, the uber-talented Barry Bonds was on the precipice of superstardom as a Pittsburgh Pirate in 1989, one year before he would snag his first All-Star nod - the first of 14 over the next 16 seasons. The son of Bobby Bonds signed and inscribed this official National League (Giamatti) baseball: "June 8, 1999 Barry Bonds Home Run Ball 10 Run First Inning." Bonds drove in three of those runs that inning with a home run, but despite the 10-run outburst before the Phillies even came to bat, Philadelphia would go on to outlast the Bucs, 15-11 in a slugfest at the Vet. The signature on the ball is somewhat faint but the rest of the writing is relatively strong. Comes with PSA.
