Editorial Reviews

Review

"The ups and downs and triumphs and challenges of a professional athlete are presented in this latest entry in the series, describing the life and career of Barry Bonds through words and pictures... The publication of this book is very timely in that after 17 seasons of baseball, Bonds has finally realized his dream of playing in the World Series. Biographies are a great reading choice for elementary students and this selection is no exception. Students will love to read about Bonds and this Stars of Sports biography would make a great addition to the classroom or school library."

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Stars of Sport - Barry Bonds (Hardcover)

Barry Bonds Stars of Sports by: Raymond Miller when he was two he broke a window hitting a woffle ball. When he was a little kid his favorite baseball player was his dad Bobby Bonds, he also put on a jersey and ran out on the field not during the game.
His memorable moments were his homerun record. . 328 batting average and a career high 137 RBI's. And he almost has one of the most homeruns and it was 500 homers.
When Barry was in college he Played baseball for Arizona State University and only had 45 homeruns, 711 at bat, 183 runs, 247 hits, 175 runs batted in, 57 stolen bases and.347 batting average.
His father also played for the same team that Barry does now, Barry is one of the best baseball players of all time.
One of Barr's famous quotes "To never give up and always do your best"
One thing I didn't like about the book is it stopped at 2003 and didn't give any info about 2004 and 2005 it should have had all of that info but it didn't and they should have had about him when he used steroids and why he used them he made a stupid choose. He used to be my favorite baseball players but when I found out he used steroids he disappointed me and I thought he was better than that, at least he started over and finally made the right choose and he's one of my favorite players again.
