Barry Bonds and Willie Mays are two of the greatest baseball players in the history of the sport, but their connection goes beyond their on-field greatness and importance in San Francisco Giants' history.
Mays was Bonds' godfather, and the latter reacted to the legend's death at 93 years old on Tuesday.
"I am beyond devastated and overcome with emotion," Bonds wrote on his Instagram page. "I have no words to describe what you mean to me- you helped shape me to be who I am today. Thank you for being my Godfather and always being there.
