Bonds received seven NL MVP awards and 14 All-Star selections, and is considered to be one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Bonds was regarded as an exceptional hitter, and finished his regular season career with a very high on-base percentage (.444) and isolated power (.309). He holds many MLB hitting records, including most career home runs, most home runs in a single season (73, set in 2001) and most career walks.

The perjury charges against Bonds were dropped, but he was convicted of obstruction of justice, pending an appeal. Despite his accomplishments, Bonds was not elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
