Barry Bonds, home-run-hitting hero of San Francisco Giants, may be most controversial and most unaccepted player in baseball; his frosty demeanor, his past feuds with teammates and coaches and his connection to baseball's steroids scandal make him more mysterious and, as result, more compelling; he was first person to withdraw from players union's group-licensing program, giving himself control over his image; is buffered by 'team' of two publicists, managing director and creative director; is disdainful of distractions associated with stardom, frequently refusing contact with fans or the press; refuses to discuss matter of steriods and indictment of his trainer Greg Anderson and his nutritionist Victor Conte Jr on charges of illegally supplying performance-enhancing drugs; is expected to eclipse Babe Ruth's career total of 714 home runs, then go after Hank Aaron's major league record of 755 career home runs; is not that different from some of his historical equivalents, many of whom were just as ornery, maintaining lofty self-opinion and motivating themselves by real or perceived slights; photos (M)
