On November 19, 2001, the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) determined in a landslide vote to award the NL Most Valuable Player Award to Giants slugger Barry Bonds.  Bonds won 30 of 32 first place votes, winning his fourth career MVP award — the most by any single player to that point.  Bonds went on to accumulate a total of seven MVP awards in his career, which remains the most for any given player.
