Barry Lamar Bonds (born July 24, 1964) is a Major League Baseball player with the San Francisco Giants. He is the son of former Major League All-Star Bobby Bonds, a distant cousin of Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson, and the godson of Hall of Famer Willie Mays.[1]
Bonds holds the all-time Major League home run record, after hitting his 756th home run in a game against the Washington Nationals on August 7, 2007, surpassing Hank Aaron. He also is the all-time career leader in both walks (2540) and intentional walks (679). He holds numerous single-season records, among them the single-season Major League record for home runs (73), set in 2001. He has won a record seven MVP awards. With each new home run that he hits, Bonds effectively breaks the MLB record (his own) for career home runs.
Since 2003, Bonds has been a key figure in the BALCO scandal, though Bonds has never failed a steroid test. He is also under investigation for perjury by a federal grand jury regarding his testimony in the BALCOwww.wikipedia.com
