Barry Bonds was a starter for the National League in the 2002 All-Star Game, crushing a two-run homer off Blue Jays ace and Hall of Famer Roy Halladay in the third inning for his second career All-Star Game dinger. Bonds, a season removed from setting the single-season home run record of 73, had an equally spellbinding season in 2002. The former Arizona State star hit 46 homers with 110 RBI and won the National League batting crown with a career-high .370 batting average. Despite playing in his 17th season, Bonds was a terror for opposing pitchers, leading the Major Leagues in walks (198), OBP (.582, at the time an all-time record), slugging percentage (.799), and intentional walks (68), among other statistics. Bonds won the second of his four consecutive National League MVP awards and made his only career World Series appearance in the 2002 Fall Classic. Despite Bonds’ .471 batting average, four homers, and 13 walks, the Giants fell to the Anaheim Angels in a heartbreaking seven-game series.
