Barry Bonds (born July 24, 1964) is a Major League Baseball player, formerly of the San Francisco Giants. He is the son of former Major League All-Star Bobby Bonds, and the godson of Hall of Famer Willie Mays. He holds many records, such as most home runs in a season (73 in 2001), most home runs in his career (756, set August 7, 2007), and most career walks (2539). He has won seven MVP awards, four more than anyone else.
Controversy
Bonds is widely suspected of having used performance-enhancing drugs in the later part of his career. Since steroid tests have been instituted, he has never failed a test. The investigations into the allegations are continuing. On November 15, 2007, Bonds was indicted for perjury for information he gave during questioning back in 2003.
