Barry Bonds San Fran

On September 25, 1996 — At Dodger Stadium, in a 7 – 5 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers,  San Francisco Giant outfielder Barry Bonds goes 1 for 1 and receives an intentional walk, giving him a new National League record of 149 walks in a season. The free pass is issued in the seventh inning by LA’s Mark Guthrie with two outs and a runner on third base.

He also swipes two bases, giving him 39. The Dodgers get a homer from Eric Karros, his 34th, and a two-run pinch homer from Billy Ashley. Of Ashley’s nine homers, five have been pinch hits, one short of Johnny Frederick’s record.
