description: Just as players and coaches are hitting their stride at spring training, a new book, This Gracious Season (Winter Publications, March 2002), reminds us what a magical season 2001 was for the San Francisco Giants and their Future Hall-of-Fame slugger, Barry Bonds. 
  About the Author
Josh Suchon, the Giants' beat writer for the Oakland Tribune, has a unique behind-closed-door access to Bonds and the team, which inspired him to chronicle his experiences of watching, listening and discussing Bonds' chase of the most hallowed record in all of sports -- the single season home run record. However this isn't just a book about home runs. It's about putting Bonds' home runs into context. What made them special as singular moments in time. What they did to fuel the anticipation of more home runs. And how, as a whole, they made 2001 one gracious season for Barry Lamar Bonds.
