Danville company's Barry Bonds plaque a hit on ESPN

DANVILLE — Trigard signs and plaques can be found all over the country, but one of the Danville company's creations recently garnered national attention on ESPN.

After the San Francisco Giants retired former star Barry Bonds' No. 25 jersey on Aug. 11, ESPN aired a segment about the case for Bonds being included in the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. — a controversial subject due to allegations of steroid use during his career.

Throughout the segment are shots of a "would-be replica" of a Hall of Fame induction plaque with Bonds' picture and career summary that was made at Hall of Fame Plaques and Signs' plant at 1125 N.
