    Barry Bonds - (Baseball's All-Time Greatest Hitters) by John Bloom (Hardcover)



    About the Book




    Barry Bonds has emerged, statistically, as the most feared hitter since Babe Ruth. Bonds, winner of a record six MVP awards, holds the single-season record for home-runs, slugging percentage, on-base percentage, and walks, and is the only player ever to have hit 500 home-runs and stolen 500 bases. His statistical performance is beyond reproach, but his public image remains controversial, and recent allegations of steroid use have cast a shadow over his unprecedented accomplishments. This timely book strips away the hype and takes an objective look and Bonds' life and career.

    It has been said that hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in professional sports.

      Years later, when inom read this book in search for the complete, hopefully unbiased, story of this new Home Run King, inom was träffad by this biography's title, a
