When You Got People Waiting On Boats & Jet-ski’s For You Because They Know You’re Gonna Hit A HR … You Got It Big Bro ! Please Make This Man A Hall Of Famer
@@emilianomaldonado11 Bodybuilders would be amazing batters if steroids/PED’s played that massive of a role. Also keep in mind that a majority of the league was enhanced, therefore the field was spread more evenly than one might realize at first glance. I don’t really have an opinion on whether he should be in the hof or not. Putting him in the hof would be bad for the league on multiple levels.
Barry Bonds is the greatest player ever. No one else is even close. Voted the most valuable player 7 times, more than any player in history. Power: The all time leader in Home Runs King with 762, greater than Aaron, Ruth, and Rodriguez. Single season Home Run King, with 73, greater than McGwire, Sosa, and Maris. Speed: The only member of the 500/500 club with over 500 home runs and over 500 stolen bases. Fielding: 8 time winner of the golden glove award. All of this without getting any decent pitches, the all time King of walks with 2,558. The hall of fame is a all of same without the king.
@@JoshuaGarcia-nd3wx pitchers were juiced too lol it was a level playing field -- Barry bonds regardless of this should he in the HOF - how many home runs did it add to his overall total? Maybe 80? How much did steroids actually contribute to his home run total?
@@JoshuaGarcia-nd3wx Steroids can’t explain him being excellent at hitting a baseball. He’s the best ever and seeing fans trying to rationalize otherwise is silly. 😂
Steroids made him stronger but his plate discipline and vision were insane. You know how insanely good you have to be to pull a fast ball in like that so many times? Steroids or not he’s the greatest pure hitter ever. Would’ve had 900 homers if he didn’t get walked a record amount of times. Dude was walked 180 times and still hit 73 homers 😂 like what. He almost never struck out. Last thing. He was the first and still only player to hit 400 homers and steal 400 bases and that was pre steroids.
Dude... he or they ruined baseball. Imagine having a nice romantic evening with your partner... then imagine them geeked out on Viraga filming a commercial. Baseball isn't a commercial for Holiday Inn.
The most feared batter in history proven because Barry was the most walked batter ever in history 232 times in 2004 and an average season at bat is 450-500. Plus pitchers were so careful with Barry he was lucky to even see two pitches a night to hit.
i grew up as a basketball fan. But watching sports channels i saw highlights of mlb. And at the time, i believe around 2002, they were counting almost every night the homeruns of mister Bonds. I remember when he hit 600 it was a huge frenzy. I became fan of just him collecting homeruns, even got me into watching some baseball games on tv and play an mlb game on gamecube lol :)
@@SpinningbacKFisT i agree, do these people not realize why the MLB *can’t* acknowledge his achievements?! They would, in effect, be saying that it is okay to use steroids.
@@Thefvkingoat I completely agree, it takes skill to hit a ball coming at you 95MPH...no doubt, and I will never knock BB's skill...BUT steroids gives you the ability to turn doubles into homers though.
Barry mastered the art of batting. A typical 3 game series he would average 15 at bats. Take it down to 11 due to 4 walks, then he goes 4 for 11 with a couple singles, a double and a homer. He did this consistently. Also consider he was only seeing a single digit amount of pitches actually in the strike zone the entire series! By far without question the best to step in the batters box.
Barry had so much swag at the plate. His swing was effortless and his homers were game changing. Pitchers were scared to pitch to him so they walked him intentionally.
All of you haters that are new generation baseball fans I need to absolutely realize that you'll never see nothing as this spectacular ever again that man was the greatest baseball player you'll ever see. From The outfield to the infield as far as a batter most of us will never get to see that again. Absolutely incredible. And absolutely enjoyable
My dad took my brother and I to ball games in the city all the time in the early 2000s. One thing he always stressed: you're witnessing history. You're watching a legend. Just like when he got to see ted williams and Dennis eckersley. Other than bonds smashing homreruns into the cove, my dad would point out the intentional walks. 'look how fuckin scared they are of him. They don't wanna even wanna give him a chance. He's that good.' I think witnessing THAT , being amongst other fans when that type of thing happened, was great. Made barry bonds seem like a real GIANT among men. I love my father. This is something I'll never forget, and I hope to do with my children some day. Show them something great that they can say they witnessed when they become older. Done sharing my little feel good story. Go giants!!!!
A Rod, if he was allowed to keep doing roids. People forget that Steroids keep you from getting hurt - or at least heal really fast.. It's a big benefit. Notice how ARod fell apart physically after steroid stuff. Couldn't stay healthy
+blr Bonds was already a hall of fame candidate before he even took the roids... He totally deserves it, he is the greatest hitter the game has ever seen and we won't see another one like him in a long time.
It’s really cool to watch his swing change over the years, he played right in the middle of swings changing all across baseball, high school all the way through MLB. Lift the ball, less movement of the front foot. Standing more upright, hands closer to the body. You can watch his career and see baseball’s swing changes step by step. So cool
Thank you, Barry! Those were the days. Bonds brought back feelings that I use to have about the game when I was a kid. The Reggie Jackson days. All we needed was a Barrybar like Reggie had and it would have been complete.
All time Major league leader in Walks, and Intentional Walks, and Home runs....that makes him the Greatest player of All time!!!....Just a great Player!!
***** Give me one reason besides "OMG HE'S SUCH A CHEATER ROIDS MAKE YOU SEE THE BALL, HIT THE BALL, RUN FASTER AND JUMP HIGHER" Because it's bullshit and you know it.
By far, the best hitter ever! And the most feared hitter of all time. Barry Bonds was just so much better than all the other players of his era. In his younger years he was a great power hitter, outfielder, and unstoppable on the bases. In his latter years he had every pitcher figured out. He's the only player to be intentionally walked with the bases loaded.......ever..... Baseball = cheating......all great players broke the rules in some way. As a baseball fan the critism is unfounded to me, and his greatness, dominance, and talent are to be admired
Truly one of a kind. A God. Barry Bonds was the greatest player that ever lived. Even with all the intentional walks, even with all the unintentional-intentional walks, he basically got 2 pitches to hit per week. And staying true to form, he smoked em both. Stop hating and elect him into the baseball heavens where he belongs.
Not a once in a generation player but a once in a lifetime player. Never seen anyone like him before and I don’t think we ever will again. Put this man in the HOF
My favorite baseball ⚾️ player bar none. Baseball hasn't been the same for me without him. I miss being able to watch him play man he would have me so hype eyes glued to the TV knowing any pitch could be a blast over the right field wall.
He is a legend. People overate steroids. They don’t help a player make contact or draw walks. These were 2 of the best parts of his games. Also steroids don’t even help that much with power because he was jacked anyways and power is mostly hitting the ball with the right part of the bat
I agree. I will admit, the extra strength for sure helped him hit a few extra homers, but I don’t doubt he would have ended up with at least 600 without the juice
I love how people come in and say that he was great without steroids like it's disproving everybodys point or something. No you're right he was a hall of famer without them. Absolutely! So he didn't need to take them.
Barry Bonds was the only ball player i ever watched where it was unthinkable that he was going to be an out. He was either going to walk or get a hit. Not Griffey, not Trout or any other ball player has put fear into an opposing pitcher like Bonds.
+Noah Day intentionally walked 661 times in his career. that's more intentional walks than 49 hall of fame position players had total walks in their career... pitchers were TERRIFIED of Bonds
Baseball’s greatest era was the Barry Bonds era. San Francisco Giants games weren’t just baseball games during that time, they were spectacles that brought America together. I live in Florida 4 time Zones away and every TV in the bars would turn to Barry Bonds at bats live. He usually walked or hit a historic homerun that made whoever caught it much more wealthy then they were before they had that baseball in their hands. McCovey cove was literally like a pirate cove, only the pirate’s gold was the baseball’s he was hitting. He doesn’t need to be in the HOF for me to know he was the best to ever play the game. Thank you Barry Bonds for the great memories!!!
There will NEVER be another player like Barry. 762 hrs and over 500 stolen bases. Hit over 300 nearly every year. Pete rose is the only modern hitter to compare in my opinion.
I’m 32 and I’m so sorry that kids nowadays weren’t able to witness this mans greatness. He was almost hitting homers every at bat you seen him. He made baseball games exciting every night he played. He and Griffey are my favorite players ever.
@@doughill6579 steroids don’t make your swing natural dumbass also steroids don’t make you have an elite eye, great contact, and it also doesn’t make you automatically good
+jdspreest . Unfortunately he didn't..but still the best individual hitter and baseball player of all time. This guy did it ALL..gold glove defender and we both know how terrified pitchers were of him! Best hitter of all time! It was almost impossible to strike this man out. Barry Bonds is the GOAT!
The answer: The bulk Bonds gained that led to him hitting all those home runs late in his career caused him to fall off hard in both steals and spectacular fielding plays. As such all those clips are old and likely irretrievable.
blargh257 except by MLB who has access to every game ever. There are some teams (Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Mariners, etc) that have some superfan who recorded every game in the 90s and 2000s and now uploads tons of footage to TH-cam
It's obvious Barry Bonds took steroids, no questions asked, but that doesn't take away his legendary status or possibility of being "the goat." No amount of steroids or PED use can teach you to do what Barry Bonds did at the major league level. Cuz if it could, his records would be broken or atleast matched by now. (The only player that could've come close is A-Rod, but injuries will probably prevent that.)
It’s obvious ? The man had hundreds of homeruns before he even looked huge. If he did. It’s a shame because he would have still continued to do major damage
I used to be like the general public, thought that steroids use was a black mark on the game... then I finally realized, they all do it. Almost all professional athletes, except maybe the pure speed guys (who probably take other types of stimulants.) Yes, even golden boy Jeter. And It's rarely ever to even get stronger, it's to stay strong.
it's for recovery. baseball is really hard on the body, playing 100+ games a year where you're only utilizing the fast-twitch muscles in part of your body in short bursts. Pitching is even worse. Very little cardio but lots of force exerted quickly will wreck your body over years.
Bonds is the GOAT! Argument isn’t close. Roids or not he did it with or without. Im grateful to have seen him play many times and personally witnessed #600 when I was 6 years old!
i remember watching barry bonds as a kid and damn the excitement i got when i saw number 25 coming to the plate was unreal. either getting intentionally walked or cranking the hell out of the ball. what a legend.
I don't care what anyone says..They can't erase history. They may not include him in the hall of fame, but Bonds is legendary. Well done Sir 👏🏿.. Well done
@@ryaneb1370 I think Griffey had the most natural talent of all time. I'll always believe that. But injuries derailed him. With that being said, Bond is the best hitter of all time. Roids or no roids.
Barry Bonds imo was the better player even before the roids. Usually had a higher BA, was a way better base stealer and also like Griffey, was a GG Of'er. Also struck out less than Griffey.
@@leemcelhenney4550 Bonds had more homers, stolen bases had a higher BA and OBP during his pre roid era from 1990-1997. Griffey had a few outstanding seasons but Bonds was still the more consistent player.
There is a reason that none of us has seen that growing up until Hank Aaron. But the thing is this is what we all enjoyed watching and our day and age because that man is the best baseball player to ever play. Don't get it twisted dodgers fans. That man was an absolute beast
Hate it ot LOVE it.....Barry Lamar Bonds is one of the BEST baseball player ever! Please note: During BALCO and MITCHELL stuff investigation against him, this guy homered 149 times and received 636 BB, 75% IBB. :)
Some of u are idiots. Lets say he took steroids...U STILL HAVE TO HIT THE DAMN BALL!! It doesn't give u better eyesight. It doesn't give u better hand eye coordination. Not to mention, there are so many players before him that took it and are already in the hall of fame. Regardless of what u think he did, he's still one of the best hitters, ever! Babe Ruth would drink before a game. Not to get drunk but to help him play better. Once u get a little bit, u feel less, u play loose and feel stronger. Wouldn't that be an illegal substance? I don't see anyone trying to tarnish his name. Leave Barry alone. He was a great player whether u think he took steroids or not. Sosa took steroids but did he hit 700 homeruns, steal over 500 bases and play his position at the highest level? What about Conseco? Didn't he take steroids? Where is his 700 homeruns and 500 stolen bases?
Kean Everest No, it does not enhance hand-eye coord. Reaction time I'll give you because you gain stronger reflex, but hand-eye? lmao I have to disagree.
MrPacker1234 he was the GOAT before he started juicing. There's no giants fan on this planet that will disagree with the accusation of steroids use. but damn he is still my favorite player of all time and nothing can take that away.
MrPacker1234 won 3 mvps without roid multiple gold gloves and also had better stats then any roid user by far so ur clearly a 5 year old hater and never got to see bonds play I never did either but ask anyone who did
Tragedy that he isn't in the HOF. Thanks Barry for making me fall in love with the Giants and baseball as a kid. I remember listening to a game on the radio and he threw out a runner at home and then hit a walk off HR to win the game. Can't remember exactly which game it was but that was a cool memory none the less.
It sucks to see how he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. I remember watching him growing up and getting nervous every time he came up to bat because he was almost an automatic home run. It was fun watching him. I’m 35 now.
yeah i remember he was all over the sports highlights when i was binge watching sports networks (for the NBA). He was hitting homeruns like crazy like almost every game, and would break season records, pass the 600 mark, climb the ladder of all time homers etc, he made me get interested into baseball for a while
@larreey Dude, get a life. I was making a point. As in "....was his line a lot". You really looked up these stats then took out your little calculator for this comment? Well done...
Him cheating in baseball is always going to be the main topic of Barry Bonds. But what I don't understand is the man was NEVER tested positive for any illegal drug that he was claimed to have taken. He was very entertaining, just being apart of that homerun chase was awesome!!
This... idc if it's 4 years later. This is the real point. The man never tested positive and anything that he did before the bans should have no bearing whatsoever. If it's decided that protein shakes are an unfair advantage 20 years from now will that destroy every player right now? Gtfo

Not a once in a generation player but a once in a lifetime player. Never seen anyone like him before and I don’t think we ever will again. Put this man in the HOF
I loved watching Barry Bonds. He is one of the best baseball players ever. The steroids dont make you hit, they give you stregnth
From what I heard, steroids just makes your muscles recover quicker, so that you can workout harder and longer.
true, but I'd doubt Barry would have passed Hank on the HR list without steroids.
"I hope he didn't have onions on that hot dog - BONDS HITS ONE DEEEEP!!!!1"
Bond hits one high, he hits it deep, he hits it outta here :)
My favorite baseball ⚾️ player bar none. Baseball hasn't been the same for me without him. I miss being able to watch him play man he would have me so hype eyes glued to the TV knowing any pitch could be a blast over the right field wall.
He is a legend. People overate steroids. They don’t help a player make contact or draw walks. These were 2 of the best parts of his games. Also steroids don’t even help that much with power because he was jacked anyways and power is mostly hitting the ball with the right part of the bat
Sterioids didn’t help him track and hit the ball. Just helped with strength and stamina. He still had the skill to be a baseball player.
I agree. I will admit, the extra strength for sure helped him hit a few extra homers, but I don’t doubt he would have ended up with at least 600 without the juice
I love how people come in and say that he was great without steroids like it's disproving everybodys point or something. No you're right he was a hall of famer without them. Absolutely! So he didn't need to take them.
Barry Bonds was the only ball player i ever watched where it was unthinkable that he was going to be an out. He was either going to walk or get a hit. Not Griffey, not Trout or any other ball player has put fear into an opposing pitcher like Bonds.
Greatest hitter of all time, peds or not, there is no hitter who has ever struck the kind of fear in a pitcher that Barry Bonds did. Hall of fame.
That's ridiculous
+Noah Day intentionally walked 661 times in his career. that's more intentional walks than 49 hall of fame position players had total walks in their career... pitchers were TERRIFIED of Bonds
Trollberg is that you?
Baseball’s greatest era was the Barry Bonds era. San Francisco Giants games weren’t just baseball games during that time, they were spectacles that brought America together. I live in Florida 4 time Zones away and every TV in the bars would turn to Barry Bonds at bats live. He usually walked or hit a historic homerun that made whoever caught it much more wealthy then they were before they had that baseball in their hands. McCovey cove was literally like a pirate cove, only the pirate’s gold was the baseball’s he was hitting. He doesn’t need to be in the HOF for me to know he was the best to ever play the game. Thank you Barry Bonds for the great memories!!!
Greatest hitter I’ve ever witnessed. Period. Dude is a sure fire HOFer.
Say what you want about him juicing, this man had the quickest and most powerful swing of all time
There will NEVER be another player like Barry. 762 hrs and over 500 stolen bases. Hit over 300 nearly every year. Pete rose is the only modern hitter to compare in my opinion.
Your opinion is shit.Bonds took roids,and he was playing in tiny ballparks with balsa wood bats,and still only hit 400 foot hrs.
@@sodapop5455 Inbred jealousy!
And both should be in the hall of fame
Lmao, I encourage you to take some roids and try to hit a 90+ fastball. Bet you look stupid
soda pop the guy literally played in at&t and pnc park. Not hitters parks...
2:36 Best "He hits it high"
James Benton Ticer mvp baseball 05 baby
I’m 32 and I’m so sorry that kids nowadays weren’t able to witness this mans greatness. He was almost hitting homers every at bat you seen him. He made baseball games exciting every night he played. He and Griffey are my favorite players ever.
Bonds maybe the greatest baseball player ever!!! 7X MVP!!!
Barry Bonds has one of the most natural swings in baseball ever.
Indeed
Nothing natural about using steroids. Griffey had the most natural swing.
@@doughill6579 steroids don’t make your swing natural dumbass also steroids don’t make you have an elite eye, great contact, and it also doesn’t make you automatically good
Best hitter and baseball player of all time.
How many rings did he win? Oh that's right, none.
+jdspreest . Unfortunately he didn't..but still the best individual hitter and baseball player of all time. This guy did it ALL..gold glove defender and we both know how terrified pitchers were of him! Best hitter of all time! It was almost impossible to strike this man out. Barry Bonds is the GOAT!
Baseball is mostly an individual sport so you can't measure a players greatness by rings.
jdspreest all you do is hate on Barry, he got you traumatized or something 😂😂
Why can't I find any Bonds fielding videos didn't he win 8 gold gloves ? Always with the home runs with people
+Ryan Lipinski ^ This is a reasonable request.
The answer:
The bulk Bonds gained that led to him hitting all those home runs late in his career caused him to fall off hard in both steals and spectacular fielding plays. As such all those clips are old and likely irretrievable.
blargh257 except by MLB who has access to every game ever. There are some teams (Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Mariners, etc) that have some superfan who recorded every game in the 90s and 2000s and now uploads tons of footage to TH-cam
@@blargh257 It also is LF, not as impressive as another position.
@@blargh257 no what? The reason why he didn’t filed good anymore and steal bases wasn’t because of steroids but the dude was 35! He was old
I used to watch this video all the time when I was younger, I used to think Barry Bonds was some kind of superhuman and I love this music too! :D
Barry Bonds is inarguably the best player of all time
Could make an argument for Griffey Jr
762!!!! SF Giants for life!!!!!
It's obvious Barry Bonds took steroids, no questions asked, but that doesn't take away his legendary status or possibility of being "the goat."
No amount of steroids or PED use can teach you to do what Barry Bonds did at the major league level.
Cuz if it could, his records would be broken or atleast matched by now.
(The only player that could've come close is A-Rod, but injuries will probably prevent that.)
+Mike DeSimone Great comment, totally agree.
+Mike DeSimone so many other players have used PED's but haven't even reached Bonds level of dominance.
i’m surprise he didn’t have as much injuries
Bonds never tested positive
It’s obvious ? The man had hundreds of homeruns before he even looked huge. If he did. It’s a shame because he would have still continued to do major damage
I used to be like the general public, thought that steroids use was a black mark on the game... then I finally realized, they all do it. Almost all professional athletes, except maybe the pure speed guys (who probably take other types of stimulants.) Yes, even golden boy Jeter. And It's rarely ever to even get stronger, it's to stay strong.
+mrmajikjr precisely
not to mention college and high school kids as well
Testosterone also improves mental function and focus, hence its particular interest to sluggers.
Wrong
it's for recovery. baseball is really hard on the body, playing 100+ games a year where you're only utilizing the fast-twitch muscles in part of your body in short bursts. Pitching is even worse. Very little cardio but lots of force exerted quickly will wreck your body over years.
Bonds belongs in the Hall of Fame, just off his talent alone. It’s a shame it will probably never happen. Best hitter I’ve ever seen.
Bonds is the GOAT! Argument isn’t close. Roids or not he did it with or without. Im grateful to have seen him play many times and personally witnessed #600 when I was 6 years old!
i remember watching barry bonds as a kid and damn the excitement i got when i saw number 25 coming to the plate was unreal. either getting intentionally walked or cranking the hell out of the ball. what a legend.
The greatest ever!!!!
The Best Player Barry Bonds!
Being a Giants fan and going to those games as a kid was unbelievable! Hate it or love it, BARRY IS THE GOAT!!
I don't care what anyone says..They can't erase history. They may not include him in the hall of fame, but Bonds is legendary. Well done Sir 👏🏿.. Well done
You can see that he’s getting stronger every highlight
And his head gettiing bigger
Barry Bonds did not need steroids, he was already amazing and heading to the hall of fame
Barry Bonds is one of the best all around baseball players ive ever seen(steroids or not) besides Ken Grifey Jr.
Sorry dude he was better than Griffey, Ruth, and Aaron.
@@ryaneb1370 I think Griffey had the most natural talent of all time. I'll always believe that. But injuries derailed him. With that being said, Bond is the best hitter of all time. Roids or no roids.
Barry Bonds imo was the better player even before the roids. Usually had a higher BA, was a way better base stealer and also like Griffey, was a GG Of'er. Also struck out less than Griffey.
Without his roids Griffey would be the best, but I’m not sure if Griffey himself was 100% clean
@@leemcelhenney4550 Bonds had more homers, stolen bases had a higher BA and OBP during his pre roid era from 1990-1997. Griffey had a few outstanding seasons but Bonds was still the more consistent player.
Greatest left handed hitter I ever saw and pretty amazingly gifted athlete
There is a reason that none of us has seen that growing up until Hank Aaron. But the thing is this is what we all enjoyed watching and our day and age because that man is the best baseball player to ever play. Don't get it twisted dodgers fans. That man was an absolute beast
steroids or not bonds homers were fun to watch !!!!!!!
Trueee
Hate it ot LOVE it.....Barry Lamar Bonds is one of the BEST baseball player ever!
Please note: During BALCO and MITCHELL stuff investigation against him, this guy homered 149 times and received 636 BB, 75% IBB. :)
Bonds is the Greatest player to ever play the game !!!!
Should be in the hall of fame ballot so let’s go Barry Bonds
I’m a Dodgers fan and I have nothing but respect for Barry Bonds. He’s a Hall of Famer, through and through.
3:12 one of the greatest calls I've ever heard in my life 😂
This one is heading to new jersey 🤣🤣
THE BEST PLAYER IN THE HISTORY OF HISTORY
Barry! Barry! Barry!
By far the best baseball player I have ever seen in my lifetime
I don't care what anyone says. This is one of the best hitters of all time. Living Legend! HOF in my book.
Some of u are idiots. Lets say he took steroids...U STILL HAVE TO HIT THE DAMN BALL!! It doesn't give u better eyesight. It doesn't give u better hand eye coordination. Not to mention, there are so many players before him that took it and are already in the hall of fame. Regardless of what u think he did, he's still one of the best hitters, ever! Babe Ruth would drink before a game. Not to get drunk but to help him play better. Once u get a little bit, u feel less, u play loose and feel stronger. Wouldn't that be an illegal substance? I don't see anyone trying to tarnish his name. Leave Barry alone. He was a great player whether u think he took steroids or not. Sosa took steroids but did he hit 700 homeruns, steal over 500 bases and play his position at the highest level? What about Conseco? Didn't he take steroids? Where is his 700 homeruns and 500 stolen bases?
It actually does Improve hand eye coordination and reaction time while your on it. But who cares everyone did it. He was just the best at it
Kean Everest No, it does not enhance hand-eye coord. Reaction time I'll give you because you gain stronger reflex, but hand-eye? lmao I have to disagree.
As a personal trainer I talk with steroid users daily...it increases awareness dramatically.
You're fucking stupid
John Hurley Pujols sucks now because he doesn't use roids...fuck face
"There's a long one to right field, forget about it! This one's headed for New Jersey"
None of you even with roids all over your asses would play half what Barry played, he was insane
Not without steroids he's not
MrPacker1234 he was the GOAT before he started juicing. There's no giants fan on this planet that will disagree with the accusation of steroids use. but damn he is still my favorite player of all time and nothing can take that away.
If he would of never taken anything he would of still been one if the greatest ever. But you cant deny he used.
MrPacker1234 won 3 mvps without roid multiple gold gloves and also had better stats then any roid user by far so ur clearly a 5 year old hater and never got to see bonds play I never did either but ask anyone who did
Tragedy that he isn't in the HOF. Thanks Barry for making me fall in love with the Giants and baseball as a kid. I remember listening to a game on the radio and he threw out a runner at home and then hit a walk off HR to win the game. Can't remember exactly which game it was but that was a cool memory none the less.
It sucks to see how he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. I remember watching him growing up and getting nervous every time he came up to bat because he was almost an automatic home run. It was fun watching him. I’m 35 now.
There were years you couldn't even pitch to the guy. He just got walked 2 or 3 times a game. 1-2 HR, 2 BB was his line a lot.
yeah i remember he was all over the sports highlights when i was binge watching sports networks (for the NBA).
He was hitting homeruns like crazy like almost every game, and would break season records, pass the 600 mark, climb the ladder of all time homers etc, he made me get interested into baseball for a while
@larreey Dude, get a life. I was making a point. As in "....was his line a lot". You really looked up these stats then took out your little calculator for this comment? Well done...
@larreey I wasn't defending him at all and then you vomit even more into a comment. Have a good night. Maybe ask your doctor about Ritalin.
1:30 goddamn
Him cheating in baseball is always going to be the main topic of Barry Bonds. But what I don't understand is the man was NEVER tested positive for any illegal drug that he was claimed to have taken. He was very entertaining, just being apart of that homerun chase was awesome!!
This... idc if it's 4 years later. This is the real point. The man never tested positive and anything that he did before the bans should have no bearing whatsoever. If it's decided that protein shakes are an unfair advantage 20 years from now will that destroy every player right now? Gtfo
His swing was impeccable. A swing truly from heaven💯‼️
He was so much fun too watch man... absolute legend.
I know my man does steroids but
Steroids don’t help with vision discipline and your mechanics.
#Bondshof21
I don't care how much enhancement he used you still gotta hit the ball
Very true, but without roids, he probably would not had have that many homeruns. But it's just a speculation that seems to be viable.
And that's what he's trained his whole life to do. Now he has help
Steroids or not, that mans knowledge of hitting is godly
Barry Bonds is the greatest baseball player of all time
I'm not a big baseball fan and I don't follow the sport but this guy was the man!! Go Braves!
Do some research on the sport.He used peds or he never eould have gotten what he got.
