Jeff Kent and Barry Bonds, once star teammates on the San Francisco Giants, have reconciled after a feud that began with a furious dugout fight more than 20 years ago.
The two players clashed after the second inning of a June 26, 2002, road game against the San Diego Padres. The dispute concerned a defensive play involving third baseman David Bell. They had been so estranged that, despite playing for the same team, they did not even eat together.
Years later, Kent and Bonds put the bitterness behind them with a reconciliation and an embrace.
