Barry Bonds

Barry Bonds, arguably the most famous slugger in MLB history, was a 22 year veteran who primarily played for the San Francisco Giants. He holds the record for the most home runs hit in MLB history at 762. He is most famous for being accused of taking steroids, and thus all of his records have been largely considered tainted.

He is an unsigned free agent. He can still play if someone signs him. No team will most likely sign him because of the controversy around his sterois issue. Also, he is asking for too much money.

How many hits did Barry Bonds have in his career?

Asked by Wiki User

At the end of the 2007 season he had 762 but many do not consider his record "legitimate" due to his steroid use.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The above statement is hyperbole and is a pathetic attempt to discredit a man's career achievements.

Gaylord Perry may have cheated in every game he pitched by putting Vaseline, ointments, tar, or anything else he could on the ball to make it move... He's now in the hall of fame.

"Shoeless" Joe Jackson and other baseball players in the past have taken money to throw games, some were caught, some were not, but the players who had good careers are still in Cooperstown.

Players 50-60 years ago and before thought that it was dangerous to workout for fear they would get to strong and lose their flexibility and quick reactions. Does this mean players who workout are cheaters?

It was customary at the turn of last century (100+ years ago) to restrain a player physically from advancing to the next base or to trip him. Some players like John McGraw would hold the players belt so that they wouldn't be able to get off 3B fast when they tagged up.

In 1920, they outlawed spitballs, however if you were still in the major leagues and used a spitball, then you could continue to do so. If you were in the minor leagues or were not an active Major Leaguer in that season, you would not be allowed to continue using the spitball in the future seasons. Does this mean that players using spitballs didn't have an unfair advantage? How about the players that were allowed to continue cheating while others were not allowed to?

Baseball has never been fair, it's that it mirrors the struggles of life and that nothing is promised to anyone. Not even a fair ruling. Everything is subject to interpretation and that's what everyone loves about baseball. You can be the underdog and still be the hero, there is a basis of luck or being in the right place at the right time. I know this all was way off topic, but I won't delete another person's post, so I can at least give a counter argument.

Although he initially denied it, Bonds eventually admitted to using tetrahydrogestrinone (THG, also known as "the clear") and "The cream", a testosterone-based ointment that is used in conjunction with anabolic steroids such as THG in order to mask doping in professional athletes. Note that steroids it only help regenerate broken down muscle, it doesn't give you any extra muscle. What isn't different is that you have to work x10 harder than a person not using them for your body to not turn your muscle into fat. People don't realize that you have to workout 5-6 hours a day in order to prevent fat gain. Also, Your body is tearing down the extra muscle at the rate at which you gain, the biggest difference is that when your body starts to tear down below normal, then the supplements will prevent it from regressing past a certain point. This makes it beneficial to injury recovery.

Furthermore, there have been studies that show muscle gain slows bat speed and creates no true power increase. You essentially are trading slower bat speed for greater power, which is why so many players from the last 20 years hit so many home-runs with a low average, they basically killed their average trying to gain power.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK. I have the facts. Today, Bonds was found not guilty for steroid use or perjury but guilty of obstruction of law (although in leaked records of his testimony that was supposed to be kept sealed, he admitted to using "the clear" - a steroid) However, he was arrested, and now all of that is O-V-E-R.

By the way, I find that the last person to edit this answer probably went through days of research and typing to write it. Too bad he's a Giants fan.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He did take the steroids. He claimed that he didn't know that they were steroids, which is why he was found guilty of obstruction of law.

How many seasons did it take Barry Bonds to break the home run record and How many did it take Hank Aaron?

Asked by Wiki User

Bonds broke the all-time home run record in 2007, his 22nd (and thus far final) major-league season, although it must be said he missed all but 14 games during the 2005 season because of a knee injury. Aaron, who sustained a fractured ankle near the end of his rookie season of 1954, played relatively uninjured for most of his career. He hit his 755th homer in his 23rd and final season in 1976.
