Alex Rodriguez went to California to watch his Minnesota Timberwolves face the Golden State Warriors on Sunday.
The NBA owner got a ride from fellow MLB legend Barry Bonds.
"I got to tell you, I got a great Uber driver today," Rodriguez said, panning his phone's camera to show Bonds at the wheel. "I got the man."
"Times have changed," Bonds said.
Fans reacted to the surreal scene featuring two polarizing icons.
"Two [GOATs]," Randy Cruz wrote with a goat emoji.
"1458 combined MLB home runs," a fan calculated.
"Both deserve to be Hall of Famers!" a fan opined.
"Two of the best players in baseball history just chillin'," a fan observed.
"What I wouldn't give to be in that car," a fan wrote.
Bonds and Rodriguez are first and fifth, respectively, on MLB's all-time home runs leaderboard. However, neither has made the Hall of Fame because of their ties to performance-enhancing drugs.
The former San Francisco Giants icon already attended one game in the Bay Area this weekend. The San Jose Sharks honored Bonds, former Warriors star Chris Mullins, and former Oakland Athletics closer Rollie Fingers on Saturday night.
Bonds was nice enough to give Rodriguez a ride, so perhaps A-Rod will return the favor with tickets to tonight's Warriors-Timberwolves game. The Western Conference matchup begins at 7:30 p.m. ET.
