Not to mention the best fielding outfielder don’t forget that too pussy 😂😂😂 now go suck a bone 🦴 chump babe Ruth 😂😂😂he was good but he is no Willie and he dam sure ain’t no bonds
Buckeye4life 440 you do realize that steroids don’t make u better at baseball right??? It just lets you recover faster after a workout which means that Barry bonds for one, put in the work to get stronger and two, he had an amazing swing and good hand eye coordination
Apparently every homerun Bonds hit as a Giant, was called by either Kruk or Kuip. Giants fan since I was nine and saw my first game at Candlestick Park (Padres) in 1963.
I would say Jon Miller did too, I just loved how monumental his calls sounded. "Barry hits his historic 500th home run! The 4th Giant to do it. He joins his Godfather Willie Mays! He joins Willie McCovey! And Mel Ott!" We're lucky as Giants fans.
The absolute best baseball player ever. Hall of Famer before 1998, and still a Hall of Famer after 1998. Don't forget, the pitchers were taking steroids too....and he still crushed them all!
There was an estimate made that 80-85% of all players were on the juice. It was an era of baseball that we all enjoyed, but now the self righteous critics deem him THE cheater. He controlled every at bat that wasn't an IBB. Simply, he was the greatest hitter of all time.
Agree with this 100%. Had he not taken 'roids, he still would have had well over 500 hrs, 500 stolen bases at least 3 MVPs and 8 gold gloves. But, even his #s purely without 'Roids are absolutely HOF worthy. And you said it well. So many pitchers were also on the juice and he destroyed them.
@@nicholasdepina2944 that alone makes him one of the GOATs. Throughout the 100+ year history of the MLB, you can only count the amount of 3x MVP's on one hand.
@@Kamrin_ 1 no he doesnt bonds holds the record for most home runs in a season and most homeruns career plus he used em in a time where everyone used em its not like he used em now days and steroids or not he was a great player
He hits one HIGH...He hits one DEEP...IT....IS.....OUTTA HERE! - The best hype man baseball and I'm a complete homer to Greg Brown of the Pirates.As far as Bonds goes,, i'm usually anti-superstar but Barry is an exception. The king of plate discipline, patience, vision, and rhythm.. His swing can't be replicated.Pitchers who missed their spot payed for it.. Thank god he beat Sosa to 70.
As a kid I was on the east coast and I was staying up for 10pm starts to watch Giants games because Barry Bonds was the most exciting hitter to watch. In 2004 Bonds had 232 walks.. that is unbelievable, the next closest walk totals in a season are 198 and 177, both also set by Bonds. In that season Barry Bonds only struck out 41 times! and batted .362 with 45 home runs and 101 rbis.. Imagine the stats he could have put up if he didn't walk 232 times! In 2019 the league leader in walks was Bregman with 119. Let that sink in.
He has the best eye. Too bad nobody sign him at the end of his career he can still play at least couple more years he could've hit 800 homerun. If I'm not mistaken he hit 28 homerun in his last season that still pretty good.
Jazz Cabbage17 the thing with bonds (steroids or not) is you were afraid to bitch to him. griffey didn’t really hit for average or score a ridiculous amount of runs. besides, when bonds hit a ball, whether it was 1991 or 2004, the swing was just amazingly smooth. griffey is right up there but there was too many years of injuries for him to be number 1
I went to a few of these games as a kid and I’m still mesmerized by this showing my young nephews this video now. He was legit sending them out into the ocean
And THERE it is. Notice how nobody since has even got close to Bonds. As it is, CarGo and Harper are probably the only ones capable of doing it on a consistent basis.
Agreed, "PED'S" or not. That kind of athleticism can't be replicated....you mean to tell me nobody in the history of baseball, or any other sport for that matter haven't used "PED's"? Barry Bonds level of play was in it's own league...the biggest ding against him? Nobody liked him....sorta like Tye Cobb...my Dad was a lifelong Giants fan and he took me to Giants games back in the late sixties early seventies....including Willie Mays retirement in 1973, good memories.
123 balls hit into McCovey cove on the fly by all players over nearly 20 complete seaons. bonds hit 35 effectively playing 7 seasons in the park. two other giants (sandoval and belt) have 8 splash hits playing 8+ seasons in the park, all in their 20s mostly. bonds hit all his splash hits at around 35 or older. he was the most dominant hitter to ever play the game.

Two seasons stick out to me most from Barry Bonds 2001: .328 ba, 73 hr, 137 rbi, 129 runs, 177 walks, 93 strikeouts, 13 stolen bases 2004: .362 ba, 45 hr, 101 rbi, 129 runs, 232 walks, 41 strikeouts These are just godly numbers
@Lighthouse in the Storm yes his 232 walk season is in a league of its own and will never be touched. also in 2004 the fact that he hit more home runs than he struck out is mind blowing.
@@ldaws-3912 And more that half of those were Intentional walks. Other records that might never be broken. Career IBB 688 Most career walks with the bases loaded. With 11 ( 1 intentional) Most feared batter ever.
Home Runs 762.....Walks 2558.....Intentional Walks 688. All records that still stand today. Man had the best vision and swing out of anyone and everyone knew it. He was an amazing hitter when he was in Pittsburgh before all the steroid BS.
Honestly you could be right.... Teams literally feared him and did unusual things to avoid him. But idk, wilt Chamberlain might be more dominant because the League literally did everything they could to make wilt not able to dominate, but he still did. All the rule changes, widening the key, charge fouls, goaltends, and he still played dominant. But Barry or Michael Jordan could be a close second. I would take bonds over MJ tho
Man...I dated a girl from Santa Cruz who was a Giants season ticket holder so I was at quite a few of those "slpash hit" games...most fun I've ever had in San Fran!!!
Damn what was it like seeing Barry at the plate in person? I bet it was hella surreal and you can just feel the fear on the field when he gets there. Lol that's a guess but that's how I feel when I watched him on the TV lol
I love how they switch up the radio and tv broadcast team in the 4,5, and 6th inning because I love hearing Jon Miller and Duane Kuiper calling his home runs
I really wish the Giants announcer would specify the altitude, the depth and the location of those balls. After they leave the bat, it's really unclear where those balls go.
i lived in SF during this time and it was insane. What he did for the Giants and MLB cannot be measured. I met him a few times at clubs an through a Giant's employee that knew his wife and he was as calm and quiet as anyone I have ever met.
Yeah i'm curious to know how many of these are 500+ as well. Most of them are somewhere between 450 and 490, but some of them like the one you mentioned and two others at 3:29 and 9:35 are pretty close to 500 if not over 500.
There was nothing like watching the Giants during those early 2000's. The only thing I can compare it to is the warriors' and the Patriots' record setting seasons.
While watching bonds, I remember watching Kobe average 50 points for one whole month. That was also kind of amazing like watching bonds play. Only reason I mention Kobe is cuz they were playing around the same time and I miss watching sports in the 00s. So much fun and everyone was into it .. now everyone just wants to know how many followers you got or whatever....
Barry Bonds was the Marlins hitting coach the year Stanton hit 59, and rumor was Barry could still out swat him in BP. Not to mention Yelich MVP season the following year after he learned from Barry. Best hitter all time roids or not. He hits 1000 homerun if he played 5 more years.
Barry & Jr. had the best swings ever........if only Jr. didn't have all those injuries...man....I sure miss those days of baseball.......I've barely watched 10 games since Barry, Sosa, McGuire, Jr.!!!!!!!
That swing though. That freakin follow-through. Damn I miss Barry.
HE HITS ONE HIGH. HE HITS ONE DEEP. McCOVEY COOOOVE OUTTA HERE

Roids don't give you hand eye coordination. That's natural talent. You can be strong as hell but unless you make contact, the ball won't go anywhere
Duane Kuiper has the best home run call hands down. The Bonds era was extra fun for him. But even today, no one comes close imo

Doug Davis was the pitcher for that homer. Not much of a pitcher, but he did play for 7 more seasons.
I can sit here for hours watching that sweet swing!
Was fun growing up with Barry
BONDS, HITS IT HIGH! HITS IT DEEP! IT IIIIIS.... OUTTA HERE!
I never get tired of that.
He literally spoke softly and carried a big stick. The greatest hitter ever by a mile.
@Lighthouse in the Storm sorry he launched a 500 foot donger off your favorite pitcher
Pause
Big pause
One of the greatest of all time, steroids or not.
Period end of story

The absolute swagger of how he drops his bat and watches the ball fly. It's like he knows it's gone before he even hits it.
would be great if we could get a power hitter back Giants some day.. nothing like seeing baseballs smashed out of the park. thanks for the video

28 homers in 126 games. It’s a shame he barely missed out on 3,000 hits and 2,000 RBI as well
most beautiful swing i’ve ever seen. griffey is probably a close second.
Griffey is definitely my favorite cuz he had some style. Bonds to me was just intimidating and scary. Both amazing approaches to have at the plate.

Reggie Jackson was a bit better.
Ken Griffey Jr had a pretty swing as well
Robinson Cano
@Erich Von Manstein ...Reggie didn't have Bonds eyes. Nor his plate discipline. Facts. But that SWING...was legendary.
I'm a red Sox fan and I love Fenway park but goddamn AT&T park is on it's own level
I'm getting chills watching this. Bonds is a BEAST!!
AT&T Park is the House That Bonds Built.
They LITERALLY built a stadium designed just so he could hit them into the ocean. Move over, Babe Ruth.
And THERE it is. Notice how nobody since has even got close to Bonds. As it is, CarGo and Harper are probably the only ones capable of doing it on a consistent basis.

Career IBB 688

His 2004 season is the most iconic, 61% OBP and .850 slugging
Imagine how many homers he would’ve hit if he played for Colorado
A grand
The real question: How many homers he would've otherwise hit of the 668 times he was intentionally walked.
Or yankee stadium
Barry Bonds is the GOAT hands down
10:47 As the pitcher was working on a complete game shutout... Boom, what a shot!
I’m getting a little older, my memory is fading. Seeing these shots on sports center are some of my earliest memories
I never understood why anyone would throw him a strike
I never got that one lmao
Lol
A strike for berry = a homerun
Because he is the all-time walks leader, can't throw the guy a ball either lol
Lol it's still a mystery to this day

Never gets old. Unbelievable.

It's hilarious how these guys in the bay have their little motorboats and nets. They take this seriously lol

Bonds swung the bat the way a power puncher throws a left hook: all hips.

The sound off his bat is like nobody else I've ever heard.
Mccovey coooovvve outta here...man that never gets old...Barry Bonds greatest MLB ever
The last batter to have the advantage on the pitchers. Only a handful have ever done it, and he was the best.
3:02 love this call from Jon Miller and how he just sprinkles in historical stats and milestones.
I hope that one day he’ll be in the hall of fame...he was a great player but I think people are just hating on him.
2:49 Jon Miller’s call of his 500th was phenomenal, A+
Giants fans had it great Barry Bonds and after he left 3 World Series damn
Moonshots all around! He's top 5 greatest ever and we all got to see him...He has many records so many records.
Whens Bonds was going for the single season record and the home run record the cove was so packed.
SF in the summer has to be the hardest place to hit homers. Cool marine air with lots of moisture is thick stuff.
So crashing boats into each other is only allowed in McCovey Cove.. I can dig it
The best baseball player of the history...
