He’s an eight-time Rawlings Gold Glove winner. He has won numerous batting titles and Silver Slugger awards. He is also the MLB record holder with 13 consecutive seasons with 30 or more homeruns (1992-2004). Bonds is one of three members of the 40-40 club for a single season, the others being Alex Rodriguez and Jose Canseco. He is the all-time leader in walks and intentional walks. He is also a seven-time NL MVP recipient, where no other player in history has ever won more than three in a career. He is the single-season homerun king: in 2001 he belted 73 homeruns. Well, where should I start? Bonds is the only member of the 500-500 club for non-baseball followers, that is 500 homeruns and 500 stolen bases. Bonds is the third member of this highly-exclusive 700 homerun club.Įven though Bonds is reaching this milestone in his career, he has reached many other accolades before even coming near this record, which some would think would automatically put him into the Hall. So far this year Bonds has hit one homerun and remains five homeruns shy of Babe Ruth and 46 shy of Hank Aaron. If you don’t already know, Bonds is nearing one of the most sacred records in Major League Baseball, the all-time homerun record, sitting at 709 as we speak. He began his career with the Pittsburgh Pirates after a short college career with Arizona State. In my opinion if he doesn’t make it to the Hall, it would be as sad as Pete Rose not making it in.īonds is entering his 21st season in the majors, spending the last 14 seasons with the San Francisco Giants, his hometown team. With all this attention on his possible steriod use, many wonder if Bonds is Hall of Fame worthy. I’m sick and tired of all this nonsense with Barry Bonds and his alleged steroid use. Bonds a Hall of Famer in many fans' books
