Many of baseball's best players have donned a Giants sweater over the years including Willie Mays, Gaylord Perry, Willie McCovey, Mel Ott, Juan Marichal, and Orlando Cepeda. Possibly their most famous player, and most infamous player, is Barry Bonds. Bonds joined the Giants in 1993 and became baseballs most prolific home run hitter. Bonds holds the all-time record for homeruns in a season with 73, and total home runs with 762. As well, he also holds the record for the most MVP awards with 7. Although Bonds is inarguably one of baseball's greatest players, he has been involved in a number of scandals that raise questions regarding his records. Most notably, Bonds has been accused of using steroids throughout his career.
