Who is Barry Bonds? Is he just the San Francisco Giants Leftfielder, or is he today’s legend? His numbers suggest that he’s a legend. After all he does hold the single season home run record at 73. He’s number four on the all time home run list with 656. He’s the only member of the 500/500 club (500 home runs, 500 stolen bases.) He’s eighth on the all time slugging percentage list and holds the single season record for slugging percentage with .863%. He’s an eight time gold glove winner and also received five MVP awards. To top all that off he’s a 12 time all star. Those are legendary numbers. Even Hall of Fame numbers. Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, and Hank Aaron, these men are legends. So what’s the difference between these players and Bonds? Attitude and Love for the game. A legitimate legend is a great player and a good guy.
