⚾ Correct! Barry Bonds holds the record for the most home runs in a single MLB season, hitting an incredible 73 long balls in 2001. His swing, plate discipline, and unmatched eye for the strike zone made him one of the most feared hitters in baseball history. Bonds broke Mark McGwire’s short-lived record of 70, doing so with a remarkable blend of power and consistency. His 2001 season wasn’t just about the home runs—it also included an on-base percentage of .515 and a slugging percentage of .863, some of the highest ever recorded. Despite the controversy surrounding his alleged use of performance-enhancing substances, Bonds’s 73-home-run season remains one of the most jaw-dropping statistical performances in sports. He redefined what a dominant offensive player could look like and left a record that still hasn’t been touched.
