If I had a dollar for every pixel in this video, I would be in debt.
probably the most high definition baseball video of all time.
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Neither Bonds nor Rivera has ever faced anybody this good." Is an insane statement. Happens to also be true
Rivera’s cutter is probably the most dominant pitch of all time
Hitters knew that it was coming and still couldnt hit it
Yea. It was devastating.
Rarely see Bonds looking overmatched like this
What's crazy is he wing at a pitch that way up and in, bonds never did that, which makes me think that the pitch was cutting so much. Unbelievable how good Rivera was, amazing that big papi had good numbers on him lol.
@@SP-dw9gi Bonds was trying too hard to hit a homer. He wanted it too badly.
a lot of people bash on joe buck, but “rivera wins the battle” is one of my favorite calls from him.
it was simple but effective.
I never understood the hate
@@rickshelton1955 In the beginning ('90's, thereabouts), I found Joe was trying to be too funny, too hip and relevant with all his rock-n-roll references, etc, like he was trying to audition for a talk show. But he toned that down. IMO. He's very good, though.
Quality’s tough but this is an all-time Mo strikeout
I was at the Sunday game between these two teams. In batting practice, Bonds hit a shot that slammed off of the back wall behind the RF bleachers. We were sitting in the upper deck on the 1B side. The ball reached its peak height almost at the right center field wall and then hit the back wall hard. Ive seen hundreds of live games and I NEVER seen a ball hit that far!! Roids or not, he was amazing...and his .609 on base percentage in '04 is difficult to comprehend.
Yeah he certainly put on a show, and 120 intentional walks will contribute to that .609 OBP lol. Josh Hamilton reached that back wall in the 2008 Home Run Derby, and it was about 500 feet on the dot!
He was amazing indeed.
He was a freak. The guy was Amazing! He should be in the HOF
Roids was the problem 😂😂😂
Hard to see, knew it was Bond’s due to the size of the head..
This is like two master samurai going up against each other for the only time. Great upload.
I have been trying for years to see this at bat again so for the person that posted this thank you
The two most dominant players I’ve seen in my lifetime
I saw Bonds during these years and I don't ever remember him swinging at a pitch that far out of the zone. Give him 5 at-bats against Mo and he's got the advantage. He would have never in his life seen this cutter before so it was all reaction.
Was watching David Ortiz on a TV show. He said Mo's cutter would rise up and in against lefties. By the time they picked it up, it was too late.
It looks like Barry was trying too hard to get a hit off of Rivera. His ego got the best of him there. Had he stay disciplined, he might've drew a walk instead. There's no shame in that.
As great as Bonds was I would never bet against anyone going up against Mo for the FIRST time ever. That cutter had to be seen in person to be believed. As a long-time Yankee fan I've been lucky enough to see that pitch many many times in person and it's a wonder anyone EVER made contact on it. The single greatest pitch in the history of baseball and it's not close.
Did you ever caught or hit against his pitch? Just looking at it as a fan either live or on television, his cutter looks like a fastball with a slight movement to it.
As someone said, the visual quality is lacking, but I remember these guys well. It is hard to believe how long it has been since they met. Match-ups don't get any better than this.
As someone who watched TV in 2002, I can confirm this was the highest quality to watch sports in
Lmao u must of had a shitty tv!😂
I was at this game. 3rd base side. Whole stadium was on its feet for this AB. Incredible. And then Lennox Lewis knocked out Mike Tyson later that evening. What a day in sports
Who else loves major league battles like these, Rivera vs Bonds, Miguel Cabrera vs Rivera, Martínez vs Ken Griffey Jr, Judge vs Shohei, Mike Trout vs Shohei, it's a blast to see the best of the best compete against each other
Rookie Vlad Jr. battling Chapman with about 8 foul balls....
@@francus7227that's one of best AB's i've seen lmao
The video is actually 1080p. The reason it’s so blurry is because of the awesome power these two legends are illuminating!
“When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object” - Rivera vs. Bonds
Holy quality
I mean, I know 2002 was 20 years ago, but things on TV looked pretty back then.
I don't believe it's either of them
Only takes till the 1:40 mark to😮focus in some.
15p video is wild
I can't believe Barry swung at that last one. I mean, Bonds had _such_ a good eye and that last pitch was obvious. Mo had such confidence.
Honestly with the movement Mo had on those pitches I bet it was in the zone on the way to the plate.
It was the 4th pitch that set up the last one. Bonds took it for a ball, but by doing this, Rivera made Bonds think about pitches high in the zone. Rivera's cutter spins like a fastball so it's hard to tell which pitch was thrown until the ball is fairly close. By this time, if you did not make a decision, you'll be all tied up. In order to hit pitches that are 90+, batters have to start their swing before the ball is released.
@@generatorx Bonds was trying too hard to hit a homer against the nearly invincible Mariano Rivera. You can tell he wasn't going to settle for a walk. He would've still chased a pitch out, that's how badly he wanted to prove his greatness. Had Bonds drew a walk, he would've still won the battle, but he wasn't going to get any glory from it.
Goat vs goat at closer. Great battle
I remember watching this as a little kid, then when Death Battle started I would always think these two have never faced anyone this good.
I love these types of face offs.
video quality is touching
Been trying to find this for years!
This was the only time they ever faced each other!
luckily, this video is clear when I take my glasses off.
Epic battle of both guys in their prime. That’s the beauty of Rivera though. Everyone knew what he was gonna throw. Rising fastball and “the cutter” and they still couldn’t hit him. Ridiculous movement on his pitches with control
God I hope to see this in the show one day
A case could be made that Rivera is not only the greatest closer but perhaps one of the greatest pitchers overall..before everyone jumps down my throat, just consider two factors. Teams had to strategize for Rivera and fans would stay just to make sure they got chance to see him pitch. Starters definitely deserve more respect for being able to pitch more innings but this guy was out there every other day and sometimes back to back games
Hey, there using the same camera they used to film Bigfoot. Nice.
I love to watch Bonds strike out. I can't stand a cheater.
Its a blur in my memories
I was at the game and it was the most electric atmosphere! His homer in the first was beyond exciting. We all not so secretly wanted to see him crush it!
I watched this game live on TV.. I can't belive how the quality of the video has improved in 20 years...
It didn't look anywhere near this bad on live TV at the time. This is the result of shoddy recording and compressing the file to keep the size down, being copied over a bunch of times and ultimately compressed again to upload to the internet.
@@RandomGuy285 Honestly OTA has always been amazing... Yet OTA isn't once as good as it was
Yankee stadium went bat bleep after this at bat being there was off the charts
0:43 Bonds face after Rivera jammed him and nearly broke his bat says it all. Bonds has the look of "I guess the legends about Rivera and his cutter were true". Only time I've ever seen Bonds look that uncomfortable and fustrated at the plate. In fairness to Bonds its like god personally designed Mos cutter just to get him and other lefty power hitters out. Would have been a much more fair matchup if Bonds batted right handed.
And thus, good triumphs over evil.
Bonds probably had never seen a 95 mph fastball turn into a "chain saw" on the way to the plate.
Dam he smoked him with high heat.
Was this filmed with a potato?
Wonder how Ted Williams would have matched up against him. A battle for the ages
Are we All sitting in CF after 18 beers?
Not even Barry Bonds could beat the real GOAT
Yeah he could... give him 5 at bats and he'd win 3 of them with one of them being a HR. This guy was the most feared hitter of all time. NOBODY not even Rivera wanted ANY part of him. Your job as the pitcher is to get the guy out.. a supreme challenge when it came to Bonds. Notice that he didn't give him much to pitch.. You do NOT throw strikes at this guy. Notice how nasty he pulled that inside pitch. Yep missed that last fast ball but not by much. Bonds doesn't strike out very often but he did that time. Yep Riviera got atta that one. However next time up & Riviera better not give him anything to hit. Notice how Bonds ONLY swings at strikes!
To be fair, steroids helped.
@@leecowell8165you can give bonds 100 at bats Rivera would beat him.
But did he though? The video says otherwise@@leecowell8165
Tim mccarver said
Neither one has ever faces someone so good.
Wow. What a comment!
You can make a case for best pitcher sp/rp
Mo.
Juiced or not, barry is a hof, and a savant at hitting. Power and slg.
Video quality is not the greatest
When Yankees stadium used to be loud
Mo was one of the two best players in history. Babe is the other. You can always find a comparable player to everyone else, such as Walter Johnson to Koufax for example or Hank Aaron to Willy Mays,but Mo and Babe were without equals.
Great pitching always beats great hitting
It was the only time they ever faced each other. I was there.
Great fucking picture. Jeezus.
Joe Buck and Tim McCarver were a great team for a while
Now that's hi def
Do u have clips of Bonds homerun of this same game via Fox broadcast??
Unfortunately do not have the FOX broadcast of the Bonds home run. Joe Buck was on the call that day.. I'd bet that he didn't get too excited about it
I love these one on ones . Did bonds ever talk about this or Mo ?
I read somewhere he said "He's nasty. That's why he's the best", but I don't know if it's true.
I got one pitch Barry, its all I got. Whatcha gonna do with it? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>XXX That's what I thought.lol... Now that was a baseball moment watching two of the best at what they do.
1:36 That swing from Bonds lol Seemed to be the pitch that confirmed to Barry all the rumors about Rivera's unhittable cutter were true. You never see Barry look like that trying to hit a low and inside fastball.
If you needed three outs, most important game. Who you picking over him?
It would have been cool if Rivera challenged him on at least 1 pitch. Like other dudes back then with elite stuff. It looked more to me like Bonds was just gonna swing if it was close to the plate.....or not, like that last pitch.
He challenged him enough to strike him out.
Threw a first pitch strike
My God, was this filmed in the mid 40's?
Looks horrible it was Digital to back then
Coming at you in -520p
The greatest reliever of all-time, multiple World Series rings, Cy Young finalist, Yankee Hall Of Famer, beloved teammate..
Vs
The greatest steroid enhancement cheater in the history of baseball with no WS rings ... egotistical problems with teammates and press.... and never will be in the HOF. That's how I see this matchup.
Seriously, a blurry video?
I believe this is the only time they faced one another. But tell you what give Bonds 5 times against anyone and he wins the race. this just wasn't one of them.
Later in 2007 I believe at SF. Bonds drew a walk in the 9th
Bonds looked out of his league on this at bat.
Shows how Mo's cutter was out of this league :)
How?
@@waxlauren3669 The strikes to him, first one caught looking; the second, barely fouled off because he could not catch up to the cutter; third, fouled off because he hit the top of the ball; fourth looked like a 4-seamer that did not break, fooled on the pitch. That's how you school a batter. Not one pitch was solidly hit, even for a foul.
They faced each other one time bro, I'd like to see what adjustments Bonds would've made if he had another AB@@generatorx
@@geekUSA101 Bonds had a half dozen pitches and I'm sure he studied film. If he were smart, he would have been watching every pitch from previous at bats. Mo would have made adjustments as well. The thing is, you have to guess at times what pitch is going to be thrown. More so that cutter darts all over the place. Depending on how the ball is gripped the lateral and vertical movements differ greatly.
Rivera had natural talent. Bonds was "Juiced".
Definitely, but Bonds was already a HOF player before steroids, they just took him to the next level, he broke baseball.
Eric Gagne could never
Juice vs class
Somebody wipe the lenses please
would have liked to seen bonds not wear the elbow guard for this sequence
Clean that potato you filmed this with, Fox sports
_FUZZAY_
Pitches were just a blur not even Bonds had a chance .
Superior video quality
Save Mariano Rivera!
Rivera took the loss in that game, an unearned run.
Bonds wasn't one of the best ever because he cheated. If you think his stats are impressive you should also want Shoeless Joe in the HOF
Bond's numbers inflate greatly after 1999; it was during this time period that he was using PEDs. I believe that had he not been "using" Bonds would be in the HOF, his numbers would be more than good enough, but not as high as it stands now. He took the risk and has ultimately paid the price; no WS ring and no HOF enshrinement.
@@generatorxThis is exactly my point of view, he didn't need steroids, he was already a HOF, but he took them, peaked, became the scariest hitter baseball will probably ever see, but for what, his career is tainted now.
@@r.jguerra5526 That's the sad part; had Bonds been clean, he would be in Cooperstown. However, by taking PEDs he has kept himself on the outside. The worse part is that he lied. No one uses things without asking. Even my doctor tells me about any kind of medication I'm going to take. If not, I ask. Pete Rose has the numbers as well, but....we know his story.
From the looks of things this happened in 1923
