Barry Bonds changed Major League Baseball. When the Arizona State University product became the sixth overall pick of the 1985 MLB Draft, it took just 71 minor league games before Bonds arrived in The Show.
But after 22 seasons, 14 All-Star selections, 12 Silver Sluggers, seven National League MVP Awards, eight Gold Gloves, numerous MLB records, and the most home runs in history (762), there remains a big, fat asterisk next to his name.
The BALCO investigation brought down numerous professional athletes who were supplied anabolic steroids, which was referred to as “The Cream.” Among them were Olympic gold medalist Marion Jones, NFL All-Pro Bill Romanowski, and Barry Bonds.
While many attribute Bonds’ entire career to steroids, it wasn’t until around 1998 when Bonds hired personal trainer Greg Anderson that things started to get suspicious.
