Description
When San Francisco Giants player Barry Bonds swings his mighty bat, the baseball world stops to watch. Barry has crushed more baseballs over the fence for home runs than any player in the history of major league baseball. Having earned many MVP titles as well as fielding and hitting awards-including the record for the most home runs in a season-Barry is considered one of history's greatest baseball players. As he continues to raise the bar, some baseball experts are predicting that Barry Bonds will be the greatest baseball player ever.
