2001: Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants becomes the first baseball player to win four Most Valuable Player awards. Having previously won the National League MVP award in 1990, 1992 and 1993, the 2001 award would be the first of four in a row (2001-2004) for Bonds, giving him a total of seven in his career. Nine other players have won MVP awards three times, the next highest total after Bonds.
