Barry Bonds (born July 24, 1964) is a Major League Baseball player with the San Francisco Giants. He is the son of former Major League All-Star Bobby Bonds, and the godson of Hall of Famer Willie Mays. He holds many records, such as most home runs in a season (73 in 2001), most home runs in his career (756, set August 7, 2007), and most career walks (2539). He has won seven MVP awards, four more than anyone else.
Bonds is widely suspected of having used performance-enhancing drugs in the later part of his career. Since steroid tests have been instituted, he has never failed a test. This is probably because he quit injecting and popping pills after the tests were put in place; the fact that his head has grown a full hat size and his muscles have bulged unnaturally in size since the mid-1990s makes it obvious to many that Bonds was a steroid user. The investigations into the allegations are continuing. One possible outcome is being indicted for perjury for information he gave during questioning back in 2003.
