Through 2007, Barry Bonds holds the Major League record for walks, with 2558, far beyond Rickey Henderson's 2190. Bonds took the record during his incredible 2004 season.
Should MLB get swept up in the anti-Bonds frenzy and declare Henderson still the walks recordholder? Bonds also owns the single-season record, with 232 (also 2004), as well as the second, third, ninth, 14th, and 20th season marks, bunched up with names like Ruth, Williams, and McGwire.
Can someone explain how Bonds' alleged use of steroids gave him the enhanced eyesight and hand-eye coordination to draw walks better than anyone in the history of the game?
Bonds was once issued an intentional walks with the bases loaded, in 1998.
