Synopsis
From acclaimed sports writer and bestselling author Jeff Pearlman, a searing and insightful look into the life and career of Barry Bonds, one of the most celebrated, contradictory and controversial sports figures of our time No player in the history of baseball has left such an indelible mark on the game as Barry Bonds. In his twenty-year career, Bonds has amassed an unprecedented 7 Most Valuable Player awards, 8 Gold Gloves, and more than 700 home runs (and counting), an impressive assortment of feats that has earned him the consideration as one of the greatest players the game has ever seen. Equally deserved, however, is his reputation as an insufferable braggart, whose mythical home runs are rivaled only by his legendary ego. From his staggering ability and fabled pedigree (father Bobby played outfield for the Giants; cousin Reggie and godfather Willie are both Hall of Famers), to his well-documented run-ins with teammates and his alleged steroid abuse, Bonds inspires a like amount of passion from both sides of the fence. For many, Bonds belongs beside Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron in baseball's holy trinity; for others, he embodies all that is wrong with the modern athlete: aloof; arrogant; alienated. Drawing on extensive interviews with Bonds himself, members of his family, former and current managers, teammates, opponents, trainers, outspoken critics, and unapologetic supporters alike, Pearlman reveals, for the first time, a wonderfully nuanced portrait of a prodigiously talented--and immensely flawed--American icon, whose controversial run at baseball immortality forever changed the way we look at our sports heroes., From the bestselling author of "The Bad Guys Won" comes an investigation of the life and career of Barry Bonds, one of the most celebrated, contradictory, and controversial sports figures of today., No player in the history of baseball has left such an indelible mark on the game as San Francisco Giants outfielder Barry Bonds.

Treated me as if i had made the mistake and only partially refunded me, would not accept a return as it would have cost them too much apparently but didnt refund me the postage so im out over £20 ($22) for a book i didnt want! Worst seller i have ever dealt with, curt and rude and i have purchased over 3000 items on ebay so that is saying something!! Terrible sellerThe Movie Fake Book [Spiral-bound] (#196448670110)
