Barry Bonds makes MLB’s all-time MVP lineup
Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images Since 1931, Major League Baseball has awards an MVP in the American and National League a combined 176 times when the Baseball Writers’ Association of Writers took over voting.
Some players have won the honor numerous times, but for the purpose of this list MLB.com’s Richard Justice used specific seasons.
To no one’s surprise, Barry Bonds made the outfield alongside the legendary duo of Babe Ruth and Micky Mantle.
Justice used Bonds’ 2001 season for this list:
“Bonds had seven MVP seasons, but 2001 stands out for the record-setting 73 home runs, not to mention a .515 on-base percentage.”
