Barry Bonds used this Sam Bat offered here during his 2002 MVP season and when it was used to hit his 585th career home run.  Bonds’ 18th home run of the 2002 season came off of Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Brian Anderson in the bottom of the fifth inning of the Giants 7-3 victory on May 27th. Bonds’ amazing career-high .370 combined with a monstrous 1.381 OPS propelled the Giants all the way to the World Series.
