    When you're such a freak of nature that it comes to you almost naturally, it makes you the person least likely to teach that skill to anyone else. Virtually all the best managers, coaches in both the MLB and the NBA, if they played, were journeymen. People who knew how to work hard, fill roles, and motivate others. It isn't about making the superstars better, but making everyone else at least good.

    Coaches have to be grinders. They have long hours, with long, intense person to person sessions - add that they must also understand how each player learns and need to develop a strategy to get into the mind of each player. They are essentially personal tutors, these attributes are generally not those of superstars, thusly that is why so few stars make good coaches and managers.

Said Bonds had his spot in the locker room and it was off limits to everyone . He said he didn’t dislike Bonds because he never got to know him , but mentioned you walked on eggshells when you were near him ‘cause he seemed to always be in a foul mood .

    In 2002 I took my firstborn son to one of many Giants games we attended that year and he was only 5 at the time but he loved The City and especially PacBell Park (now Oracle).
    We'd get there early and I always bought a couple of MLB baseballs before the game as my son was trying to get his first autograph of any Giants player. We had really good seats this one time, (section 121, about 4 rows up from the Giants dugout). As my son and I watched batting practice my son was in awe of the sheer power of major league hitters and who comes out of the batting cage and heading to the dugout? Jeff Kent.
    Kent is walking towards my son (I'm sitting in a chair behind my son reading the Giants program as my boy leans over the fence separating the field from the stands with a baseball in one hand and a ballpoint pen in the other)...he quickly asks me, "who's that coming daddy?" I look up from the program and see who it is and I say, "That's Jeff Kent, be respectful." I see my son extend the ball and pen as Kent comes closer to the dugout and my son says in his sweet little voice, "Mr. Kent, may I have your autograph please?" Kent looks up at my son (who is quite adorable if I do say so myself, with his Giants cap that's a little too big for him), and Kent looks back down and walks into the dugout without saying anything.
    I see my son's shoulders deflate as I sit behind him. A part of me burns that Kent did not even acknowledge my boy....when out of nowhere, this other Giant comes up from the dugout where I couldn't see and stands up directly in front of my son....my son looks up at this giant of a man and my son's Giants hat nearly falls off from looking directly up towards the sky from the size of this man....but my son doesn't ask me who THIS Giant is....because he already knows....Barry fricken Bonds! Even I stand up to make sure I'm seeing what I'm seeing and as my son begins to say, "May I have your autograph, Mr. Bonds...." Barry had already taken the ball out of my son's hand and was signing the ball for him!
    He hands the ball back to my son and fixes my boys Giants cap that was falling off. Bonds smiles and winks at my son, as I can't see my son's face because I'm behind him, but I'm sure his mouth is agape in awe. Barry goes to walk back in the dugout and my son catches himself and shouts louder than he wanted to, "THANK YOU MR. BONDS!!" My son turns around and with a victorious smile I will remember till the day I die...triumphantly extends his hand for me to see his signed Barry Bonds baseball.
    I walk over to where my son was standing and I try to peer into the dugout but I couldn't see Bonds from my perspective. From that moment, my son didn't want any more autographs. We walked to our seats 4 rows up and we sat together and admired the autograph he received from someone he didn't expect to receive it from.
    My son still has the ball to this day encased in a UV-protected acrylic cube. He's 22 years old now and it sits on his desk in his room in my house. He's currently in college studying computer science (like his old man) and comes home for the summer and holidays but for my son and me, we'll always be grateful to Barry Bonds for that memory.
    Yea, I know he was juicing and that's how he was able to break Aaron's record and all....but the way I see it, A LOT of players were on steroids. So I can't place judgment on a guy when we don't know what the actual percentage of players were on juice at the time. I mean, if Barry is on juice and the pitcher he's facing is also on juice (like Eric Gagne)....doesn't that make it a level playing field?
    That's the way I see it anyway....and I know I'm being partial towards Barry for the way he treated my son....but there's a lot to say for a man KNOWN for not signing autographs to sign an autograph for a 5-year-old kid....especially when it's your kid.

You're a great father & storyteller, you are very blessed to have a son like yours. I'm of the same opinion about Barry, who's perfect. Man could Barry obliterate a baseball or what? I remember a player that hit the ball like Barry, Richard "Rich" "Richie" "Dick" Allen. I swear watching him in batting practice, the cover was coming off the ball. In Rich Gossage's book he says, "Dick Allen once hit a line drive back through the box and over the center fielder's head that left Tiger pitcher Mickey Lolich sprawled in the dirt for what seemed like five minutes. Asked why he stayed down so long, Lolich said: "Because I thought the ball was going to ricochet off the wall and kill me." Thanks & blessings to you & yours.

      Same problem as why, even w/o all the "controversy", he was done with the Giants once he got the career HR record. He couldn't field anymore, PERIOD. Father time had caught up with him, as it does eventually with all. The OTHER Florida team, the Tampa Bay Rays, should have signed him, and if they had, likely they'd have won it all. As a DH, Bonds would have probably hit 35-40 home runs, and as long as he could swing the bat, might have played until he was 48, with over 900 career HRs, putting the career HR record out of reach for the foreseeable future.

Yes, Bonds' 2007 status assert what I've said all along...right to the end, even with some of his physical skills obviously diminishing, he was still the most FEARED hitter in the game.

Kevin Mitchell was the coolest! So was Pedro Martinez they both gave me autographs and i still have a pic with Pedro putting me in a headlock lol barry is a great player but shitty human being at least when he was playing

I lost sight of the boy, while jostling at the front row near the Giants dugout, when all of a sudden the kid bolts out onto the field, running straight after Mitchell! Fortunately, he didn't get all that far, as Jose Uribe scooped him up and carried him back, kicking and screaming, "I WANT KEVIN MITCHELL!"

    I saw an interview he did, and he gave his concept on hitting. My semi-pro career had already ended, so, I never gotta chance to try it. He stated that him hitting correlated to playing catch. When you catch, you're supposedly watching the ball into your glove. When he hit, he said he watched the ball to the bat (I've paraphrased).
    In my opinion, that says how keen his eye was in regards to hitting. He may have had other nuances that he identified with, but, that stuck out primarily to me as a former ball player. The bottom line is if you can't see the ball, you'll never hit the ball, consistently, no matter what you wear, take, pray or etc. That part of hitting is Cut & Dry!

      He said Willy Mayes is the only play he would pay to see.
      He left most of his fortune to a hospital he had constructed in a poor mostly black section in Georgia.
      He was a huge fan of Roy Campanella, and wrote to Roy when he was paralyzed in the car accident.

I dont care what you guys say, but not having arguably the best hitter ever in the hall, is blasphemous. There is also no consistency for letting people in the hall. Players like Pudge Rodriguez who were on the Mitchell report are in the hall of fame. Pudge dropped like 15-20 pounds of muscle one the MLB implemented testing and that not suspicious??
      TLDR: The Baseball HOF is like the history of baseball, and no matter how much you want to deny it, the steroid era will always be a part of baseball. So gatekeeping is unacceptable here, especially since there are other alleged juicers in the hall.

When they make the playoffs in 2020 he threw a hissy fit.
      Some shit he says is crazy too. Like Samson has come out and flat out said that Pujols is five years older than he says.

Barry should have been the team's special consultant or assistant hitting coach in a part-time basis. Asking Barry to be a hitting coach is like asking Michael Jordan to be a offensive coach on the bench, not going to happen.

    Bonds teaches his hitters to look for pitches up in the zone, that he did the most damage with pitches that were up. However, by watching highlights of his HR's, most of them were pitches that are DOWN and in. So maybe Barry doesn't know what the hell he's talking about?

    • @ethanweeter2732

      Pitches up in the zone now give you the high launch angle for a hone run. But down and in are easier for probably most hitters to get because of that pitch probably has less spin than the high and tight pitch maybe.

    Okay, I'm a huge Barry Bonds fan. And I remember during this period that I was very interested to know if bonds had any effect. And he did. Go in and check the hitting statistics of the Marlins and you will see that their plate patience, hard contact and run production in the first half of that season improved. They also got on base more and scored more runs. That's it, that's the statistics across the board. We know that he didn't get along with Stanton and that it was an ego clash but basically, no matter what you want to say about his work ethic, the Marlins became better hitters listening to Barry Bonds. Also, he worked out the previous year with the Giants in spring training and if Brandon Crawford right now is having his best year, he shortened his left-handed swing and started hitting the ball with more authority in the year that he hung out with Barry Bonds. And the last thing I want to say is that I've watched videos where bonds attempts to teach something about hitting and the truth is, he knows what he's doing. He's a baseball genius and what his eyes can see and what all of that baseball experience at the most ridiculous level imaginable bring to any team is simply genius. If you're going to have a bunch of spoiled prima donnas who don't even want to sit and listen to the greatest hitter of all time talk about how to get the barrel on the ball in the shortest possible swing with the most possible pop, they are crazy. Put Bonds in the Hall of Fame already and everybody can sleep peacefully.
