SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco Giants have dumped him. Now the city's Wax Museum of Fisherman's Wharf is demoting him.

Barry Bonds has lost his prime spot in the lobby of the popular museum of wax replicas.
The museum moved the home run king's wax likeness downstairs to join his godfather Willie Mays and other sports heroes. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie moved into Bonds' high-profile spot on Thursday.

Museum curator Curtis Huber says they decided to move the slugger downstairs because he isn't signed with the Giants this season and it appears his baseball career is over.

The replica of Bonds, created in 2003, joins more than 270 figures and scenes in the underground exhibit.
