Alex Rodriguez and Barry Bonds may never make the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

That doesn't diminish the fact that they're two of the greatest hitters in the history of the planet.

And on Saturday, they shared some fun moments together.

Rodriguez, an owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves, was in the Bay Area to watch the Wolves take on the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Playoffs.

Bonds, a Bay Area hero from his days with the San Francisco Giants, headed to the game, too.

The pair actually sat together, two seats featuring a combined 1,458 Major League Baseball home runs.

They didn't start their day there, though.

They actually rode to the arena together. Bonds drove.

A-Rod joked that he was going to give Bonds a 5-star rating.

It is ironic that these fearsome sluggers have both become a bit more likeable in their post-playing days.

Out of the pressure cooker of being a top MLB player, they get to just joke and enjoy some ball, like the rest of us, just at a different price point.
