Part 4/7:
Statistical Dominance
To fully appreciate Bonds’ contributions, one must look at the statistics that define his career. Bonds is often described as a statistical anomaly, collecting accolades like seven MVP awards over 22 seasons, a batting average hovering near .300, and 762 career home runs. His numbers reflect a unique consistency as a top performer, leading to his reputation as one of the best hitters of all time.
He also had a remarkable 73-home run season in 2001 — a feat that, despite the ongoing conversations about PED use, highlights Bonds' extraordinary abilities during his prime.
