is 1 of only 2 athletes in 4 major professional sports (baseball, basketball, football and hockey) to win 7 MVP Awards, joining NHL’s Wayne Gretzky (9)…only NBA’s Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and hockey’s Gordie Howe have won as many as 6 in their respective leagues…
is 1st player in MLB history to win 4 consecutive MVPs (2001-2004) and no player has won more than 2 in a row…
is also 1st baseball player to win 2-straight years at 2 different times in his career (1992-93 and 2001-04)…is already 5th National Leaguer and 11th player overall to win MVP awards in successive seasons (previous player: Frank Thomas in 1993-94)..
was unanimous choice in 2002, as he was listed 1st on all 32 ballots submitted to score perfect 448 points….
is 1st Giants player to win award 5 times, as Carl Hubbell (1933 and ’36) and Willie Mays (1954 and ’65) were only players in franchise history to garner MVP twice…
with 2004 award, became oldest MVP at age 40 years, 4 months, surpassing Willie Stargell who was 39 years, 7 months when winning in 1979…
seized his place in ML record book in 1993 by becoming 1st player ever to win league Most Valuable Player Award (BBWAA) for 3rd time in 4 seasons when he garnered 24 1st-place votes and 372 points en route to NL trophy…

previously named MVP with Pittsburgh in 1990 and 1992, barely losing out to Terry Pendleton in ’91 (274-259)…
if 2 voters had reversed their votes for 1st and 2nd that year, Bonds would have won 4 awards in a row.
