A Barry Bonds statue could be coming to AT&T Park.

Bonds might not make it to the Hall of Fame, but the Giants would be open in the future to erecting a statue depicting the homers king, who was the ballpark’s biggest draw for its first eight years.

In a Chronicle interview, Larry Baer, the Giants’ president and CEO, spelled out the criteria for getting a statue, such as the one to be unveiled Saturday honoring Gaylord Perry.

“There’s no perfect formula for who gets a statue and who doesn’t get a statue,” Baer said. “The way I look at it is, is he in the Hall of Fame or does he have Hall of Fame-worthy credentials and did he have a huge impact on the franchise?

“One is objective, one is more subjective. Both are important. Gaylord obviously fits. It’s the relative magnitude of the accomplishments, and Gaylord’s accomplishments are large.”

Given the conditions mentioned by Baer, Bonds would fit, too. His link to performance-enhancing drugs has kept him out of the Hall of Fame, and only Hall of Famers have statues at the ballpark. But Baer suggested a Cooperstown induction wouldn’t be a requirement, only that someone hold “Hall of Fame-worthy credentials.”

As for the other criterion, Bonds certainly made a huge impact on the franchise.

So what about a Bonds statue?

Baer: “From what I said, the conclusion would be yes, he would be considered.”

Like many other things at the ballpark, Baer has a major say on the bronze likenesses, and he said he takes various historical perspectives — including his conversations over the years with Giants legends — into account.

With statues of Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, Orlando Cepeda and now Perry, the question is: Who’s next?

Baer said it’s important to respect history with a proper chronology of the statue unveilings. Now that all five Hall of Famers whose primary team was the San Francisco Giants have statues, other options could be explored.

Bonds is one. At the 2008 Cepeda unveiling, broadcaster Lon Simmons pushed for a Bonds statue, even suggesting it could be placed in McCovey Cove, the landing spot for so many Bonds home runs.

Cepeda also supported a statue for Bonds, who’s eligible for six more years on the Hall of Fame ballot.

In the distant future, players from the 2010, 2012 and 2014 championship teams could be considered.
