Champ Kind Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 (Reuters) - Major League Baseball home run king Barry Bonds was fired from his role as hitting coach of the Miami Marlins after failing to kickstart the team's offense during his one season in charge, the Miami Herald reported on Monday. Bonds, a seven-times National League Most Valuable Player whose suspicion of doping has kept him out of the Hall of Fame, was released after the Marlins offense finished near the bottom of the league, the report said. Under Bonds, who leads the all-time home run list with 762 and hit an MLB-record 73 homers in 2001, the Marlins scored the fourth fewest runs of 30 teams, only two spots higher than the prior campaign.
