Teams intentionally walked Barry Bonds 120 times in 2004

While his image has been tarnished by steroid use, there is no denying that Barry Bonds was an absolutely dominant hitter in Major League Baseball. In 2004, Bonds hit a still-record 73 home runs in a single season. 2 years after that, teams were so scared of him that they walked him 232 total times, with a whopping 120 of those walks being intentional. That remains the record for most intentional walks in a season. In 2004, Bonds reached 1st base 376 times and only had 373 official at-bats.
