Most of this article is good, but there are a few sections that need citations near the end. In particular, the "Records held" section has been tagged since March 2017. Steelkamp (talk) 09:17, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete “legacy” section?

The section sucks, it consists of a single badly worded pop cultural reference. Joeletaylor (talk) 21:05, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Under "====1995 season====", it reads "In 1994, he appeared in a small role as himself in the television film Jane's House, starring James Woods and Anne Archer.^[1]^[2]". That has absolutely nothing to do with Barry Bonds' 1995 season.

Can we please add this to a new section titled "===Filmography===" and list every appearance Bonds has made in movies and on television? His appearances are listed on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0482787/ 173.196.222.8 (talk) 20:09, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: WP:IMDB is not a reliable source. Edward-Woodrow :) _[talk] 21:55, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
