seriously
This 👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽
What a group omg.
BIG PAPI, AROD, THE CAPTAIN, BARRY AND GRIFFEY JR. wow.
You got multiple silver slugger league MVPs ,gold Glovers and lastly, multiple Home runs all combined on that table.💯🐐🔥
Barry Bonds deserves to be in the HOF. PERIOD!
Lol..Arguably the most IDIOTIC and IGNORANT thing I've EVER heard..He's a cheater and juiced
Long Overdue
With a * by his name with Arod* McQwire* Sosa*, too.
Everyone knows Aaron Judge holds the record for Hrs in a season at 62 not bonds
Facts
@@TWICE_Queenz33 Judge is juiced too
I don’t care what anyone says Barry bonds deserves to be In the Hall of Fame
I completely agree
indeed. I believe *ANYONE* who leads the Majors in Home Runs *DSERVES* to be in the HOF.
The HOF is a disgrace.
Steroids or not he was a GOAT level player.

Great interview- Barry Bonds showing a lot of strength to be there while in grief.
Amen 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Mays definitely was another father to him especially after his passed away
This 👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽 very rare to have him on tv now
Bonds showing a lot of strength to be there considering the cheating he did to the game.
@@RWorfel1grow up
A-Rod, Bonds, Junior, Big Papi and Jeter. These are the League I grew up watching. This is a treat!
Same here

A-Rod and Bonds obviously cheated but still fun to watch
All juicers LOL

Ken griffey Jr. is an absolute legend. 90s baseball was amazing
Smoothest swing ever and we’re not debating this
@@SuperKenndog no we not cause it's true
Barry Bonds is the best.
still has the sweetest swing of all time
I think we need more Barry Bonds & Ken Griffey Jr
Second half, yes.
Less Barrys and more Griffeys
Bonds cheated the game.

Ortiz=541
Griffey Jr.=630

Minus Barry and Arod. They are just cheaters.
@@jamescash887GET….OVER….IT
Those guys on that panel carried the sport of baseball in that generation. Say what you want, those guys were the best of the best.
No chips to show for it is the crazy part
Chips, yea it’s a bummer Griffey Jr., Ted Williams, Ty Cobb and Bonds couldn’t get one.
Too much steroids in this group
I get the juice angle, but in the context of it is that while peds were going on for over a decade, baseball turned a blind eye, there was no testing. And the guy never tested positive. See there’s three categories. There are juicers in the hall, juicers who never tested positive, then there were juicers that tested positive and were suspended. What is crazy is that other sports hall of fames have people who juiced ( who even tested positive)!As for Griffey Jr. , he’s like Mantle and Trout. The best talent ever but as you mentioned betrayed by the body. As for Bonds ( & Judge) he went to college. Most of all the dead ball or live ball era guys except for Gehrig got their start earlier. We’ll never see anything like Bonds regardless of his indiscretion.
They all have my respect besides A rod and Barry 👎🏽

Dodger fan here, and Barry "Giants" Bond made me a fan of him with this appearance. LOL Love the confidence and refusal to play the deference to the old generation (love you Satch!) game. I truly believe that's why the media hated you, even though they covered you nonstop. LOVE and RESPECT to your unc Willie Mays. Rest in Heaven KING.
But he would say that about any pitcher of any generation
Rest in peace to his godfather Willie mays!
Idiotic..He cheated and used roids
The very first professional baseball players I met was Willie Mays and Bobby Bonds , I grew up and played ball with Barry Bonds , RIP Willie its a memory I'll never forget , Thankyou ⚾️
Bobby was good for the game, his son was a cheat
@@RWorfel1 His son was the most dominant hitter of all time. One of the all-time overall greats. He was utterly dominant before the steroids.
@@imaxdigital7052 he should’ve stayed away from steroids then. He might have been a great hitter still with fewer home runs. It still would have been a great career. But he decided to cheat. And for that he will never make the HOF.
@@RWorfel1 It doesn't really bother me. He was amazing to witness and I'm thankful to him for electrifying my childhood. He deserves to be in the hall of fame. Steroids or not, he was one of the greatest of all time. Perhaps the greatest. It could be argued.
Saying steroids "don't matter" is like saying gas doesn't matter to a car, it enhanced his performance.
I grew up 5 minutes from Rickwood, I don't think folks appreciate how dope it is to have those dudes, especially Barry and Ken, in that stadium, in that neighborhood.
Man, it's a crazy feeling to see Rickwood back how it used to be.
Man..I got “goobumps” watching this
I thought he said Good-bumps... not sure you want to say that publicly.
An amazing collection of all-time great players talking about an even greater player, if you can believe it.
Amen
Not Bonds or AROD. They cheated the game
@@JenniferMedina-bg1zb Whatever. Barry was a 3-time MVP at 175 lbs soaking wet.
@@keenannorris3309 exactly my point.. he really didn’t need to do steroids. He was already good. He got greedy. I wish he had never touched them.
Griffey was that dude
Give me Barry Bonds and his godfather Willie Mays and you can have whomever you want after that.
The greatest of the great, so glad that Barry was able to say a few words, that was so classy in light of what just happened.
Great point.
Theres over 2400 homeruns total sitting on that panel
Sur is! In fact you've got another HOF total on top of that. Specifically 2,889 career home runs
Only about half of them are legit. The other half are steroids
@@RWorfel1 such a sad lil hater. Look at him in all the comments crying.
@@DaveG425 Bonds + AROD = CHEATERS
@@DaveG425It’s pathetic.
Absolutely awesome to see Barry and the Kid on the same panel. Legends!!!
"And you don't erase history no matter what" haha Barry was speaking in duality
The sheer sight of these five ICONS sitting talking about baseball is astounding, so proud of my hometown Birmingham for putting on this awesome event
Legendary Right here.
Griffey was my #1 as a kid , then I grew up and realized Barry is the GOAT ! Both are amazing 😻
Only one goat and he died Tuesday fr
Bonds didn't play defense lol
@@marshall3278 Watch a young Bonds man. You might be missing out.
yeah, Barry is a goat. a LOSER.
@@marshall3278"Bonds didn't play defense lol" You mean, as in, his final ball "in play" while he was wearing a Pitts. Pirates uniform, game seven with him having to field a ball from the bat of Francisco Cabrera with Sid Bream making the attempt to score the winning run to win the Nat'l League pennant, is that the "didn't play defense you're referring to, lol?
Awesome to see all these guys. However, Griffey was also very close to Willie Mays and idolized him. Would have been nice for them to acknowledge that in addition to Bonds.
Wow, Junior sounds like he’s still 25 years old.
The Kid!
Looking at that set as a Mariners fan is pretty crazy, because they drafted 3 of those guys (Rodriguez, Griffey, Ortiz).
"Gone!". lol. Love it. GOAT = Barry Bonds
Bonds = steroids
Barry really said he’d take satchel deep without hesitation 😂😂😂
These 2 greats need to be apart of the game more today. These guys are 2 of the best hitters when I was growing up. Probably the best panel I've seen in one pregame show
Bonds is NOT great!! He's a cheater who juiced and uses roids
Love watching all these legends together ❤ I’m excited like a little kid right now
Rick wood game. Coolest thing in the world! R.I.P. Willie Mays
Regardless of what people wanna say, Bonds, ARod and Jr are 3 of the greatest of all time
And 2 of the 3 drafted and played together in Seattle. Had Randy too!
Wow
That is a legendary row of ball players. What a great generational talent pool I’ve been blessed to witness
Not Bonds or AROD. They were steroid users
Ken Griffey Jr is the 🐐.. cool story about two years ago I was at the driving range by myself and out of the fog walks up KG jr .. I didn’t bother him, just said hi, but it was a pleasure to share the range with just me and him and just hit some golf balls.. I even took a break and just watched him for a bit, even in golf his swing is just as smooth .. truly a memory I will never forget 🙏

Loved every minute of this!!
I remember the bumblebee due in Pittsburgh Pirates, Barry Bonds and Bobby Bonilla, good times. Ken Griffey is pure professional with a swing that was poetic.
Looks like Griffey is still just a kid at heart. Love that guy!! Hated seeing him come up against my Yankees, but what a player he was.

Thank you Barry, and sorry for your loss. It's so tough to talk about your loved ones so soon after they pass. I could barely mention and stand to hear about my grandma when she died. All that to say, I understand where Barry's coming from and just appreciate the fact that he was even there since he's greive=ing the loss of a man who was a second father to him. RIP Willie Mays
Thank you for what? Cheating and using roids?

4. Alex Rodriguez
5. David Ortiz

Add Rivera as the closer? 160-2 realistically.
@@TheorpoTrue. I was thinking going lefty-right but with Jeter having to lead off it couldn’t be done. Either way no one is beating that team

Salute to u Barry

Four of the five Legends that's on that podium has hit at least 500 home runs, two members of the 3000 hit club.
And they all played prospective positions
Bonds no questions about it
The greatest all-around player in the history of the game
A-Rod, say what you want to say about him he is by far the greatest Infield hitter of all time
The kid, one of the greatest center filters and youngest stars of the 1990s
Big papi, the greatest designated hitter who's ever lived
Derek Jeter one of the most electrifying postseason performers ever.
Three lefties and two righties
That's some Legends right there
This was great, absolutely great!
Good to see Ken and Barry together as friends!
Best generation of all time right here in one table....( Dam im getting old )😔

let me ask y’all something…..Bonds’ stats from 1986 to 1998….is that NOT a HOF career?
It is fam u not crazy
@@lyndonfair9850 i don’t get why the HOF can’t just exclude the steroid years and only count the clean years. yes i know people like McGuire would be excluded because he was taking roids his whole career. but we know Bonds started in 1999. exclude his beefed up stats and the dude was still dominant offensively AND defensively
@@markjackson6431 that was the best years in baseball in my opinion
Steroids
BB IS A HOF FACTS HOF COME NOW
Man all 5 of my favorite players all time. Ken Griffey, Jeter, Bonds and Arod are my baseball goats. Big Papi was great but I'm a Yankee. Ken and Griffey pure no roids
You’re not a yankee. Never was never will be. Stop
Jeter, Papi, Barry, A Rod, and The Kid. What a lineup...
It's like my childhood suddenly appeared at the Announcer's desk
Two legends of legends. I always imagined if they were on the same team at some point.
Two of my all time favorites!!!
Yo it’s great to hear Barry bonds
Steroids
I love seeing Barry Bonds having fun because nothing can erase what we witnessed. Dude is a legend!
Wow!!! Seeing these guys together reminded me of how great it was to be able to watch them. Cool stuff
Everyone hates on Barry for having confidence in himself. Sure, it comes off egotistical, but the Satchel Paige comment said it all. And when you grow up around Willie, and your dad berates you as a child like he would a grown man, you become what Barry is. You can tell Barry is a real dude that just happened to be better than everybody on the field and people were jealous.
Steroids
Nah everyone hates Barry for taking steroids more. Not his ego.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld correct!
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld where did I say ego goofball? You think confidence is ego? What a clown.
This is child's play compared to how he used to be! Lol
When Barry bonds was closing in on his hitting record he mentioned how willie mays was the best all around player in baseball that’s when I realized how good he really was even though I grew up hearing about him
Nice to see the great Barry Bonds smiling and joking around no doubt the greatest of the greats
What a cast love it 💪🏻🙏🏻⚾️
Batting leadoff is Ken Griffey Jr., then Derek Jeter batting 2nd 3rd is Barry Bonds, then batting clean up is Alex Rodriguez and Big Papi as your 5th hole hitter
the left right left right left 🔥
RIP Say Hey Kid
Barry Bonds is the GOAT.
I'm so very glad that he came out for this. I know that he often shies away from media, so this is really special.
People can bring up the age-old argument against his inclusion in the Hall, but I saw an amazing stat the other day: if one were to take away all of his MVP seasons, he still hit 440 HRs and stole 330 bags. Unbelievable talent, and I think he belongs. Put an asterisk next to his name, I don't care. Barry Bonds is the greatest ballplayer of all time.
Rest in peace, Mr. Mays.
Great reunion, having fun !!! ⚾😀😃
Such ridiculous amounts of greatness in this video. Barry looks much smaller now.
It's called staying in shape, something most Americans can't do.

Kudos to you Barry and condolences on Willie.
Doesn’t surprise me. Barry was taught about the struggle obviously and he is a wise man. You don’t become what he was by accident.

Big Sloppy couldn't hold a candle to A-Rod who couldn't hold a candle to Bonds.
Don't do steroids. 🤷

The name itself was the most magical thing. Willie Mays. Never was there such a poetic player and a poetic name in sports.
Mickey Mantle enters the argument. Quite a magical name as well, although he didn't play with an individual style like Willie Mays did. Willie played with swag & made everything look so easy, and for him, it was easy.
Good to see Barry Bonds. For sure, he is one of the greatest baseball players EVER put him in the Hall of Fame where he belongs!!
I don't know why I thought this but I always thought Barry Bonds had a chip on his shoulder and was kind of cold. In every interview I've seen of him lately, he is completely the opposite. He really seems like a nice, warm, genuine guy. Put him in the Hall!
Never. Steroids

Why doesn’t baseball have legends like these anymore. I used to watch it all the time when they played.
That just goes to show that we have to appreciate these guys and their greatness while they are playing. I’m not surprised that there’s no Bonds/Griffey Jr in today’s league. Not surprised one bit. Those guys don’t just grow on trees. Generational ball players right here. Can’t be duplicated.

Love you Barry! Nothing compares to the memories I had as a kid watching Barry at Candlestick and Pac Bell Park Park hitting homeruns. I have never experienced that type of buzz and excitement in any other sporting event. You can't take that away. Barry was a Giant who stood on the shoulder's of Giants. Rest in Peace Willie.
I’m so thankful I got to watch Barry Bonds as a kid. I’m a dodgers fan so I never rooted for him but still BY FAR the greatest I have ever seen. I don’t think kids today will ever understand how much he was feared at the plate.
The fact that Reggie Jackson and Albert Pujols were here has is crazy Derek Jeter, first ballot Hall of Famer is the ONLY one of the 7 under 500 home runs
HR totals
Jeter=260
Ortiz=541
Griffey Jr.=630
ARod=696
Bonds=762
That table has a combined Home Run total of 2,889
Pujols=703
R. Jackson=563
The total of home runs between those 7 is 4,155
For reference. Edgar Martinez, one if baseballs best DH's behind someone here and Hall of Famer. was the definition of a power bat. He had 309 home runs. Those 7 combine to be almost 13.5 Edgar Martinez's in terms of Home Runs
Their total Wins Above Replacement is 666.2 aka just over 4 whole 162-0 seasons worth of wins above replacement
