Bonds’ first year in the Bay Area was a magical one as he won his second straight NL MVP award, third overall, becoming the first player in baseball history to win the award in consecutive years for different teams. He also earned the fan vote to make his second All-Star Game start (third appearance overall) and won his fourth straight Gold Glove as the Giants earned a dubious distinction—their 103 wins tied for the most all-time by a second-place team as they were knocked out of the postseason on the final day when the Braves beat Colorado and the Dodgers beat San Francisco.
Bonds led the NL with 46 homers and 123 RBI, missing out on a Triple Crown when his .336 average was fourth. He also led the league with a .458 on-base percentage, .677 slugging percentage, 1.136 OPS, 206 OPS-plus, 365 total bases and 43 intentional walks.
He was second in the NL with a 9.9 WAR (best among position players) and his 8.7 Offensive WAR was tops in the circuit. He also led the league with 172 Runs Created and a 35.6 Power-Speed number.
Bonds was second with 129 runs and 126 walks, seventh with 181 hits and eighth with 38 doubles.
