Usually the first thing people think about when the name Barry Bonds is mentioned is home runs, alleged performance-enhancing drug use, and a talented sometimes difficult to deal with superstar. 

Well, Bonds, has found an interesting post-baseball hobby after a record-setting and controversial major league baseball career.

Bonds and his sister Cheryl Dugan entered a miniature schnauzer named Rocky in the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, held over this past weekend. 

“We won because we got here. That’s all that matters,” Bonds told Fox Sports.

Rocky did not come out victorious in his breed, but to Bonds, that didn’t matter. 

“I’ve been to a lot of playoffs, and I’ve been to the World Series, and I’ve never won. But for 22 years, I kept trying,” Bonds added.

Wasabi, a Pekingese, won the most prestigious prize of the evening on Sunday, taking home the Best in Show.
