When San Francisco Giants player Barry Bonds swings his mighty bat, the baseball world stops to watch. Barry has crushed more baseballs over the fence for home runs than any player in the history of major league baseball. Having earned many MVP titles as well as fielding and hitting awards--including the record for the most home runs in a season--Barry is considered one of history's greatest baseball players. As he continues to raise the bar, some baseball experts are predicting that Barry Bonds will be the greatest baseball player ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of Barry Bonds, July 21, 2004

This review is from: Barry Bonds (Amazing Athletes) (Paperback)

This insightful, well-written book is a must-read for the sports fan interested in a personal, inside view of the multi-faceted personality of the immensely talented Barry Bonds.

Bonds has provided few people with the access and insight he provided Steve Travers, the author. History will prove it to be the definitive work on one of baseball's greatest players.

5.0 out of 5 stars another excellent JEFF SAVAGE book, July 23, 2004

This review is from: Barry Bonds (Amazing Athletes) (Paperback)

Prospective buyers should know that F. J McCormack, a friend of a rival sportwriter, is pushing misinformation. Jeff Savage and not that other fellow (who engages in enough self promotion that he shouldn't need to resort to having friends step all over Savage's work) is the author of this book.

Let's repeat: Jeff Savage, and no one else, is the author of this book.

As he has established a reputation for doing, Jeff Savage has put together a well-written, easily-readable and always interesting book about a star athlete. Readers young and old will enjoy this book - which was written by JEFF SAVAGE and no one else.
