Simply stated, Barry Bonds was one of the best hitters of all time. However, he is also one of the most controversial due to steroid allegations in the mid-1990s. He played 22 years in the big leagues, amassing not only incredible stats, but setting records along the way. Some of Bond's MLB records include 7 NL MVPs , 4 consecutive MVP awards, home runs in a single season (73), home runs over a career (762) and considered one of the most "unbreakable" records of all-time with 232 walks in one season. Prior to any controversy, Bonds would take the field during his 20s for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 1993, he made the San Francisco Giants his home team, and remained with them through the end of his career in 2007. Offered here for your bidding pleasure is a 34 inch, 31.5 oz ash Louisville Slugger H238 professional model baseball bat used by Barry Bonds between 1993 and 1997 with the Giants.
