SHOWDOWN HALL OF FAME: Barry Bonds

Barry Bonds is the greatest hitter of all-time, at least by Showdown standards. In fact, it was Bonds' ridiculous 2001 campaign that caused the original Showdown cards to adjust their formula, as his extreme OBP and 73 HRs broke the formulas. Luckily, here at Greatest MLB Showdown, we are unwilling to bend our methods! So, get ready for the greatest of Barry's seasons in the original card format. For you Pirates fans, no worries-- we've got his early 90s MVP seasons included here as well (including the season that Terry Pendleton robbed him). Yes, I realize there's a real possibility Bonds used steroids to enhance his game, which clearly takes a big leap from his early 90s MVP days to his early 00s MVP season. Here at The Greatest MLB Showdown Project though, we aren't in the business of judging or excluding players, just recording respective Showdown cards of historical legends. So, feel free to ban him from your leagues or let him play and watch some fireworks unfold from his (metaphorical) bat!

Without further ado, an ode to a player who's still waiting for his Hall of Fame induction, but is the FIRST player inducted to the MLB Showdown Hall of Fame.
