Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "Barry Bonds showed up a day late at the Giants' spring training camp in Scottsdale in 1999, angry with the club for refusing to renegotiate his contract. The change in his physique was startling. His weight had increased from 210 pounds to perhaps 225, and almost all of the gain was rock-hard muscle. When he was with the Pirates, Bonds's body had been lithe and wiry, a muscular version of a marathon runner's build. Now he had the physique of an NFL linebacker, with broad shoulders, a wide chest and huge biceps. Among the Giants, players began referring to Bonds as "The Incredible Hulk," joking about the "gamma radiation" that had transformed him into a muscle-bound superhero. When Bonds took batting practice, he was driving the ball farther than he ever had in his life. To teammates, writers, and fans in Scottsdale that spring, and especially to Giants management, Bonds's appearance and performance raised a fundamental question" What in he had he been doing in the off-season?" - from the rear outer jacket.
