@The Truth No thats incorrect. Factually Ted Williams is a better hitter than bonds. Just go look at their Baseball Refernce stat pages and compare them. Williams was a better hitter factually.
He went to same high school as tom brady and lynn swam( Serra). It is an expensive all boys catholic school that produces the finest of boys that turned into men, but not just for athletes. Bonds is talking about Serra h.s. and it hits home. San Mateo (Silicon Valley) is not a place with a lot of children. It has the most expensive zip code( Atherton).
When I was 12 years old I sent Barry a letter tellin him he was my idol and the goat of baseball and I was sent an autographed barry bonds baseball card back.. put him in the hall of fame dammit. How does this only have 28k views
BRO MY MOM SENT HIM A LETTER WHEN I WAS IN 6TH GRADE ABOUT ME DOING BAD IN SCHOOL, HE LEFT ME A VOICEMAIL TELLING ME TO DO BETTER IN SCHOOL LOL NO LIE S
This is just how screwed up our world is now. We still have in our midst’s the greatest player of our time and so few care to know who Barry Bonds really is. Thank so much Barry. Thanks Renel. Love you both.
I remember meeting Barry Bonds in the late 80’s when I was a kid, at the Melodyland Christian Center in CA. He was signing autographs that day, and my cousin and I got one. Nice guy, and a good day for us. Definitely deserves to be in the hall. Best offensive player ever. Had Griffey Jr not gotten hurt so much toward the end of his career, I think he’d have been right there with Barry in the GOAT conversation. Either way, my two favorite players period.
Say what you want Barry put butts in seats. Barry in my opinion was the most exciting baseball player to watch. Their was a lot of chicken dancing going on. He would've hit 800 and 3000 hits.
When Barry came up for those 3-4 years you stopped what you were doing watch. Only other athlete I felt was on that scale in my lifetime was Devin Hester!
I actually like Bonds but cmon dude 😂 you know how much easier it is to hit home runs on roids? You clearly don’t understand roids especially in the context of baseball.
This video only having 60k viewers explains a lot about modern society. Lot of people form opinions and hate an individual without taking the time to learn and listen to an individual and appreciating who they are. 60K for this interview is an absolute scandal.
@deelewis8061 Good point...I'd add that he is not proactive in getting his own narrative out there..he doesn't do interviews or anything ..it's his fault that ppl hate him
He’s a very misunderstood guy. I wasn’t a fan of the roid usage, but he didn’t start it or promote it. I hate he’s been the scapegoat of that era and baseball thinks it can wash its hands and think “that’s that”. No. He’s one of the best ever. I hate that Hank Aaron is the one that had to be negatively effected because he’s one of, if not the all time greatest. But so is Barry. And the media made him out to be such a jerk all these years. Well, when you’re blaming a guy and blasting flashbulbs in his face making him the fall guy, shit can get a little tense. Should be in Cooperstown.
Barry Bonds Before steroids 100 WAR; 14 Defensive WAR 8 Gold Gloves, 445 Stolen Bases 400+ Home Runs, 1250 RBI, 1250 walks .411 OBP, 0.966 OPS; .290 Batting average Oh yeah, and 3 MVP awards! Hall of Famer!!!!!!
@@sxfleischerI REALLY LOVE how mcgwire gets a pass but people like you act like Bonds made and distributed them among the league, like he was a commissioner and turned a blind eye to it.
@@sxfleischer He and Clemens had the Raw Numbers before the PED era started. What is the point of keeping them out. Love to hear your analogy of Pudge Rodriguez who clearly used and is in Cooperstown.
Say what you want about Barry, he belongs in the Hall of Fame. How is David Ortiz in but Barry isn't? Come on, man! Also, I like seeing this side of Barry he didn't show to the public often.
My Grandfather played back in 30s-40s and I remember him telling me taking stuff don't make you hit that baseball you have to have a Gift to hit that baseball and hand eye coordination Barry had the Gift he was a great hitter.
I love this interview. Barry I'm glad you came out and explained yourself, it makes more sense while you didn't talk to the press. I remember when Michael Jordan started basketball he had a stuttering problem, Bo Jackson had a stutter omg problem and Herschel Walker also had a studying problem and they didn't talk to the media either, I'm glad you came out and explained to everyone what is going on now that you're getting over your fears I'm sure more people would like to hear from you. People are going to say you're just doing this interview to get into the Hall of Fame trust me you're already in all of our Hall of Fame regardless. Again love this interview
Jordan didn't have a stuttering problem, you're likely thinking of Ron Harper. Bo was just incredibly shy but not a stutterer. You're in point with Herschel.
@Tommy Hank Aaron. 3,700 hits and a .305 lifetime. Bonds finished just shy of 3,000 hits and a .300 lifetime . And The Hammer wasn’t a roided out clubhouse cancer that grew 10 hat sizes in 10 years, who no one could stand.
@Tommy Guy’s in Bonds’ day were juiced to the gills 🤷♂️ Barry could flick his wrist and the ball would wind up in McCovey Cove because he was so muscle bound. The greatest hitter ever can’t be a ped user, imo
Pissed he didn't get his World Series Championship and Pissed how he was treated by the media and he should be in the Hall Of Fame he never failed a drug test Greg Anderson didn't snitch on him spend 4 years and jail and still didn't talk
He single handed saved the MLB from being a Garbage league. The Leagues hall of fame process is stupid. Incredible athlete and always had a pleasant voice. The sensationalism steroids stuff is overblown totally. Hank Aaron, Ken Griffey Jr, Willie Mays, Barry Bonds, Greg Maddox Pete Rose, Pedro Martinez, Derek Jeter and roger Clemens an Ted Williams are the greatest players in History ever in my opinion. Gives me chills how incredible at baseball they all were
Everyone always hated Barry because he was different. It never had to do with Steroids, all those people probably hated him before 2000 that where alive at the time. He was guilty of being a jerk in the court of public opinion. It sucks this era existed. Because Barry could maul the damn baseball and for the 90s kids even though everyone else took the ooze he was god damn Super Shredder. In AT&T Park! For all you whiners be glad he didn't play in in some sandbox otherwise he would have had 850+ career HRs.
Imagine if he was in Fenway his whole career. He loved right field... and fenway is like 302 feet. High school level lol. He would easily be over 850, maybe 9. Hell.... he couldve hit 4 digits
You are correct. His ASU teammates say he was a complete arrogant jerk in college. But they also say he could flat out hit no matter what. Jim Leyland, Andy Van Slyke, and Jeff Kent all say the same thing.
Wow, what a great interview! This is not just for fellow Giants fans, this is an interview anyone who likes to hear from successful people should watch. As someone who is still trying to get success (been in the Navy, now at grad school), I think it was very impactful. I have always respected Barry Bonds #25 over the years, but now it's much greater. I'm glad his daughter is encouraging him to express how he really is and that he took his daughters word to heart. I shook your hand as a twelve-year-old kid in 1997 during On-the-Field Photo Day and I saw you hit #69 in 2001. Thank you for all the memories and inspiration, Mr. Bonds! Your greatness continues on.
@@PiperAtTheGatesOfYourMom Thank you for your service, I render a salute with pride to you. I was on submarine. Though usually under water, we searched the skies from time-to-time 😉 Best of luck in your journey as well.
Never really been a fan of Bonds personally, but there is no denying he is a HOF'er with or without PED's. He was hitting the ball out before he even started using so much so he was an MVP before he went to the Giants. What held him back like some other PED users is that he didn't come clean when confronted about his alleged steroid use. The way he was treating people in his personal life as well as team members and the media did not help the situation either. If he does not get in the HOF he has no one to blame but himself.
wow Barry Bonds was very deep person wow! I didn’t know how athletic he was! Barry Bonds skateboarding and Hockey and basketball Football!!! I want Barry Bonds in the Hall of fame but I don’t think he’ll be in because of the steroids unfortunately!!! He should be Hall of fame because he was putting up great numbers before 2001! Barry Bonds is my favorite baseball player ever
The Absolute Greatest player I've ever seen play ⚾️ the Hall of Fame is a Joke without this Guy MLB benefited Greatly during his Run the 💺's in every 🏟 were full to witness his game. I can only imagine had he came to the Bronx in 93' didn't know he was that close to being a Yankee.
He definitely has a nice side that I've seen in other clips & interviews. I always thought that his mood swings could be a sign of being bipolar and I don't say that as am insult. It's very common with people that are highly intelligent or gifted and I think he's both. Got a very sensitive side also that you see especially when he talks about the people that are close to him. Either way, it can't be easy to deal with what his level of sucess comes with day in and day out.
@@Quantum3691 Yep. He evidently felt bad about the way he was rubbing his own teammates and tried to be more of a cheerful “good guy in the clubhouse” type. His performance dropped and they actually told him to go back to being “all business”, even if he came off as a prick. They got it. You see the same thing with golf. Everyone loved Arnold Palmer and the way he would interact with even the fans during a major tournament. Nick Faldo was known for being cold and distant with everyone on tour similar to Bonds. He said he tried to play a round like Palmer and be social ect., but he played terrible. You have to go with what works for you.
Barry Bonds was undoubtedly a Hall of Famer before PEDs. He just wasn’t on pace for 762. When you break down his pre-1999 career and get into season averages and all that, you’d see that he was on pace for around 660-680 career homers.
@@cristineradding7355 I completely agree. I changed my stance over time, I used to dismiss the PED use and say he was a HoF before it so he should still get in, but he knowingly cheated and shall face the eternal consequences. It would diminish the prestige of the Hall if he’s enshrined.
@@aunch3 I agree that steroids doesn’t make you good, but it can make a good player great, and that is a problem. Bonds went from 34 HR to 73 HR. You can’t tell me steroids has no effect on a players ability. Bonds was already ahead of everyone skill wise, there is no reason why he had to cheat. But he did and shall face whatever consequences comes with that.
@@deeplays9494 technically there’s no tangible or medical proof he ever dosed, just speculation. You can’t convict anything on mere speculation. He passed every drug test the league ever had him take. The voters of the HOF are refusing a man entry based on an assumption that can’t be proven true and that’s bs
@@deeplays9494 no he didn’t. BALCO was undetectable by the tests back then, which is why it became so popular amongst players. Bonds was charged with perjury and obstruction, but both of those charges ended up being dropped.
ITS ALWAYS INTERESTING TO KNOW HOW SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE IN THEIR PROFESSIONS BECOME GREAT AT WHAT THEY DO . I SAW BARRY BONDS SHOW ON THE FIELD THAT HE IS THE BEST BASEBALL PLAYER EVER . I WANTED TO SEE. AND HEAR BARRY OFF THE FIELD . BARRY DIDN'T DISAPPOINT WITH THIS INTERVIEW . IT IS VERY NICE TO HEAR THE. G.O.A.T. TALK ABOUT HIS UPS AND DOWNS . STAYING IN THE. MOMENT . GIVING YOUR ALL AND NOT QUITING UNLESS YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN'T PERFORM . ITS TOO BAD BARRY DIDN'T GET HIS FAREWELL TOUR . HE CERTAINLY DESERVED IT . BARRY BONDS IN HIS BATTING STANCE SHOULD BE MLB'S NEW LOGO . THANK YOU BARRY BONDS FOR BEING AN INSPIRATION ON THE FIELD AND OFF THE FIELD. WITH THIS INTERVIEW .>🎤
The reason Hall Of Fame voting is so frustrating to all of us I think regardless of the sport is that the fan consensus means so little. Every baseball fan I know nowadays wants Barry in the hall. Football went so far as to keep TO out for a few years because some voters didnt like his antics when anyone who watched him play knew if he wasnt a HOFer than nobody is. Let the fans who fuel the game have some say in the matter. Not some finite number of old dudes who bring extremely personal biases to their ballots
Definitely a great interview and Barry finally introduced us to himself for the first time. . I wish Barry would do more interviews because he needs to tell his story because his refusal to talk to the press has allowed the press to create a negative narrative of himself. I learned so much about Barry and he was a master at studying the art of baseball. He explained his road to becoming the home run King. I am glad I found this interview.
I really wish Barry would write a book or make a video series on hitting. The Ted Williams book is iconic, but Barry would take it to an all new level.
Mi sueño es poder dar mi mano al mejor jugador de béisbol. He llorado de emoción y de injusticias por lo que ha pasado con este hombre que debería ocupar el lugar más alto en el salón de fama del béisbol .pero un día Dios hará justicia
Interesting and eye opening video. Barry reminds me of Tiger, with the Dad thing and not knowing how to carry himself afterwards. Also, a resemblance with the way he handles fame and being an introvert. I get the privacy, but u gotta know that if you play a professional sport, introvert or not, they're (the media/fans) are coming at you. It would of been cool if he was told (by his mentors) on how to handle fame....not an easy thing, cause u can't please everyone. Good Luck Barry and any pro player on that journey!
Saw Barry on the K Rod show a couple months ago.When he started talking about hitting and baseball,I was mesmerized ,his knowledge and they way he presented it I wished he would go on forever.Great to see that side of Barry.⚾⚾⚾⚾
Great interview, glad this was posted . Glad to see Barry enjoying his life an he’s still connected to the game assisting with the Giants . Kids are doing well , he cycling and. Staying fit . He is truly a baseball genius. And to be honest most geniuses are miss understood. Best interview I watched in a while.
As kid I it didn't click that I was overheated with it bc it was my escape, it wasn't until I got to UK that I realized how much life I missed playing ball but I loved playing ball and there I wanted to do other things and unfortunately I did.
MAN ITS SO HARD TO HATE THIS MAN. PEOPLE COULD SAY ALOT ABOUT HIM AND CRITICIZE HIM, BUT MAN THERE WILL NEVER BE A MORE EXCITING PLAYER TO WATCH HIT THAT BALL. BEST EVER HOF IN MY BOOK AND THE BASEBALLS GOAT!!!!!!!!!
its not cheating he is the greatest player. i think people think that as soon as you take ped or steroids people think that the ball comes in slow motion are something it don't, just stop he is the best. he was just to great they didnt want him to get to 800 homeruns they black balled him and destroyed his image.
it goes to show how sports idolization works so much just off their marketable extroversion and the aloof introverts get so ostracized if they're at the top. Barry is an example but i can also think of Kareem, Mike Tyson, Albert Belle, Dennis Rodman, Pedro Martinez, Brett Favre and the list goes on
Lol...all these years people only hear one side of the guys personality and judge him based on edited interviews. When you hear just how much respect he has for the bay area and the people of the community you wonder where was this guy the whole time.
@@johndoughnut9350 never was one with me. i met him at the ball park. of course i wasn't with the media.I could understand why he would be one with the media seeing you as they like to edit what he says.
@@christhompson6010 Your personal anecdote means nothing in the context of this debate. Are you that naive? “He wasn’t a dick to me, so.....” Really? I just told you Barry made an admission that he was a jerk and how he has regrets about his behavior
@@johndoughnut9350 He may have had a good reason. making a judgment on a person that you don't know purely on media representation is about as predictable and stupid as it gets. Of course why should I be surprised. It seems to be the popular thing to due. Particularly in the age of the internet.

Best ballplayer ever.
What a life. Education and gratitude, things we are missing these days.
THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. NO DOUBT.
No matter what anyone says, he IS the greatest baseball player of all time.
I wholeheartedly agree! In 1986 I saw a 185 lb. Bonds take a Doc Gooden fastball to dead center for a homerun. That has to be natural talent.
He’s a very misunderstood guy. I wasn’t a fan of the roid usage, but he didn’t start it or promote it. I hate he’s been the scapegoat of that era and baseball thinks it can wash its hands and think “that’s that”. No. He’s one of the best ever.

Well, when you’re blaming a guy and blasting flashbulbs in his face making him the fall guy, shit can get a little tense. Should be in Cooperstown.

Either way, it can't be easy to deal with what his level of sucess comes with day in and day out.
Barry was laser focused and on a mission. He didn't want to be just a great baseball player. He wanted to and knew he could shatter records.
@@Quantum3691 Yep. He evidently felt bad about the way he was rubbing his own teammates and tried to be more of a cheerful “good guy in the clubhouse” type. His performance dropped and they actually told him to go back to being “all business”, even if he came off as a prick. They got it.
You see the same thing with golf. Everyone loved Arnold Palmer and the way he would interact with even the fans during a major tournament. Nick Faldo was known for being cold and distant with everyone on tour similar to Bonds. He said he tried to play a round like Palmer and be social ect., but he played terrible.
You have to go with what works for you.
Barry Bonds was undoubtedly a Hall of Famer before PEDs. He just wasn’t on pace for 762. When you break down his pre-1999 career and get into season averages and all that, you’d see that he was on pace for around 660-680 career homers.
The peds ruin it for me. I mean he did it and there’s nothing he or any body can do about it
@@cristineradding7355 I completely agree. I changed my stance over time, I used to dismiss the PED use and say he was a HoF before it so he should still get in, but he knowingly cheated and shall face the eternal consequences. It would diminish the prestige of the Hall if he’s enshrined.
There’s plenty of players who juiced up and still never made it out of the minors
@@aunch3 I agree that steroids doesn’t make you good, but it can make a good player great, and that is a problem. Bonds went from 34 HR to 73 HR. You can’t tell me steroids has no effect on a players ability. Bonds was already ahead of everyone skill wise, there is no reason why he had to cheat. But he did and shall face whatever consequences comes with that.
@@mannylora There are plenty of cheaters already in the hall
Best player of all time!!!
He taught me everything I know BB
Unpopular opinion: Barry didn’t cheat and he deserves his much earned HOF spot
i love bonds but, he 100% cheated. But he deserves a hof spot
@@deeplays9494 technically there’s no tangible or medical proof he ever dosed, just speculation. You can’t convict anything on mere speculation. He passed every drug test the league ever had him take. The voters of the HOF are refusing a man entry based on an assumption that can’t be proven true and that’s bs
@@jamesallen2909 he literally tested positive in 2000
@@deeplays9494 no he didn’t. BALCO was undetectable by the tests back then, which is why it became so popular amongst players. Bonds was charged with perjury and obstruction, but both of those charges ended up being dropped.
@@deeplays9494 he ALLEGEDLY liked to the grand jury about using steroids, but it was never proven. It’s an easy Wikipedia my dude
What great, kind-hearted guy! Never liked him that much during his playing days, guess that's what the media does to your perception.
ITS ALWAYS INTERESTING TO KNOW HOW SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE IN THEIR PROFESSIONS BECOME GREAT AT WHAT THEY DO . I SAW BARRY BONDS SHOW ON THE FIELD THAT HE IS THE BEST BASEBALL PLAYER EVER . I WANTED TO SEE. AND HEAR BARRY OFF THE FIELD . BARRY DIDN'T DISAPPOINT WITH THIS INTERVIEW . IT IS VERY NICE TO HEAR THE. G.O.A.T. TALK ABOUT HIS UPS AND DOWNS . STAYING IN THE. MOMENT . GIVING YOUR ALL AND NOT QUITING UNLESS YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN'T PERFORM . ITS TOO BAD BARRY DIDN'T GET HIS FAREWELL TOUR . HE CERTAINLY DESERVED IT . BARRY BONDS IN HIS BATTING STANCE SHOULD BE MLB'S NEW LOGO . THANK YOU BARRY BONDS FOR BEING AN INSPIRATION ON THE FIELD AND OFF THE FIELD. WITH THIS INTERVIEW .>🎤
Greatest athlete to never win a World Series
The reason Hall Of Fame voting is so frustrating to all of us I think regardless of the sport is that the fan consensus means so little. Every baseball fan I know nowadays wants Barry in the hall. Football went so far as to keep TO out for a few years because some voters didnt like his antics when anyone who watched him play knew if he wasnt a HOFer than nobody is. Let the fans who fuel the game have some say in the matter. Not some finite number of old dudes who bring extremely personal biases to their ballots
Definitely a great interview and Barry finally introduced us to himself for the first time. . I wish Barry would do more interviews because he needs to tell his story because his refusal to talk to the press has allowed the press to create a negative narrative of himself. I learned so much about Barry and he was a master at studying the art of baseball. He explained his road to becoming the home run King. I am glad I found this interview.
My favorite baseball ⚾️ of all-time
I really wish Barry would write a book or make a video series on hitting. The Ted Williams book is iconic, but Barry would take it to an all new level.
Mr. 500/500. The only baseball player to do tht. Now how bout dem apples.
tseroids
Wow, this is a pretty enlightening interview
Barry was my fav player growing up.
Mi sueño es poder dar mi mano al mejor jugador de béisbol. He llorado de emoción y de injusticias por lo que ha pasado con este hombre que debería ocupar el lugar más alto en el salón de fama del béisbol .pero un día Dios hará justicia
50:22 is very profound... that's how it goes in life
My man! I always chose 25 as my Jersey # growing up playing G.A.L.S Softball.
Hall of Famer.
Interesting and eye opening video. Barry reminds me of Tiger, with the Dad thing and not knowing how to carry himself afterwards. Also, a resemblance with the way he handles fame and being an introvert. I get the privacy, but u gotta know that if you play a professional sport, introvert or not, they're (the media/fans) are coming at you. It would of been cool if he was told (by his mentors) on how to handle fame....not an easy thing, cause u can't please everyone. Good Luck Barry and any pro player on that journey!
Saw Barry on the K Rod show a couple months ago.When he started talking about hitting and baseball,I was mesmerized ,his knowledge and they way he presented it I wished he would go on forever.Great to see that side of Barry.⚾⚾⚾⚾
Great to hear from the best player HOF
I’m a Dodgers fan but I love Barry Bonds. Steroids or not, one of the best to ever play the game.
steroids
Great interview. That hair though! Almost steals the show. Lol
How does this only have 29k likes!!!! An hour and a half long interview of the greatest baseball player of all time!!!
*views
This channel ain’t got the clout like that
Great interview, glad this was posted . Glad to see Barry enjoying his life an he’s still connected to the game assisting with the Giants . Kids are doing well , he cycling and. Staying fit . He is truly a baseball genius. And to be honest most geniuses are miss understood. Best interview I watched in a while.
And his head is still big. Just like mine is bigger than it was in my 20's. Has nothing to do with alleged steroid use.
Barry Bonds will probably be the greatest hitter of all time
My Favorite Complete ⚾ Player.
*player
I am loving this interview
Put BARRY BONDS in the Hall of Fame(Shame) where he Belongs!!!
I really wish he never did steroids
As kid I it didn't click that I was overheated with it bc it was my escape, it wasn't until I got to UK that I realized how much life I missed playing ball but I loved playing ball and there I wanted to do other things and unfortunately I did.
The GOAT
Barry is my boy but Josh Gibson still the King!!
Living legend
MAN ITS SO HARD TO HATE THIS MAN. PEOPLE COULD SAY ALOT ABOUT HIM AND CRITICIZE HIM, BUT MAN THERE WILL NEVER BE A MORE EXCITING PLAYER TO WATCH HIT THAT BALL. BEST EVER
HOF IN MY BOOK
AND THE BASEBALLS GOAT!!!!!!!!!
Best interview ever
Thank you so much Barry
steroids
@@arsenioseslpodcast3143GET A LIFE
its not cheating he is the greatest player. i think people think that as soon as you take ped or steroids people think that the ball comes in slow motion are something it don't, just stop he is the best. he was just to great they didnt want him to get to 800 homeruns they black balled him and destroyed his image.
Hail to the KING!
Smoothest bat swing all time!
Thank you Sir.
Great interviewer
I'm so glad we are seeing this side of Barry bonds.. He is my favorite player of all time . H.O.F NOW
right
Lol, no.
The Homerun 👑 2001Season 73 career record 762
This Interview sparked something in my mind. Thank you barry 🙂❤ .
Barry knows how to find that light
it goes to show how sports idolization works so much just off their marketable extroversion and the aloof introverts get so ostracized if they're at the top. Barry is an example but i can also think of Kareem, Mike Tyson, Albert Belle, Dennis Rodman, Pedro Martinez, Brett Favre and the list goes on
19:59 leyland chatter
Lol...all these years people only hear one side of the guys personality and judge him based on edited interviews. When you hear just how much respect he has for the bay area and the people of the community you wonder where was this guy the whole time.
He openly admitted that he was an asshole as a player though
@@johndoughnut9350 never was one with me. i met him at the ball park. of course i wasn't with the media.I could understand why he would be one with the media seeing you as they like to edit what he says.
@@christhompson6010 Your personal anecdote means nothing in the context of this debate. Are you that naive? “He wasn’t a dick to me, so.....” Really? I just told you Barry made an admission that he was a jerk and how he has regrets about his behavior
@@johndoughnut9350 He may have had a good reason. making a judgment on a person that you don't know purely on media representation is about as predictable and stupid as it gets. Of course why should I be surprised. It seems to be the popular thing to due. Particularly in the age of the internet.
Entertaining & informative vlog 👍🏽
Loved this. He earned anything a baseball player can earn
