- Barry Bonds' 4-year run from 2001-2004 is unquestionably the best in MLB history. Bonds soared to a level of dominance that's near impossible to fathom, and will never be replicated...

We can now confirm that I am not Bailey
Pre recorded with you using your "Baily" voice. We are onto you sir. We are all onto you 🤔
Yes, he is using a Deep Fake!
Thinking it’s not an edited video in an edited video is bold good sir
during those four years here in California a good chunk of stores would show Giants games. People would stop what they were doing to watch every single one of his ABs. There would literally be a crowd of people surrounding a big screen at flippin Costco watching him hit on a Tuesday in July
haven't seen anything at the level since
Barry is the greatest 5-tool player of all time. Best all around. Only player in the 400-400 club and 500-500 club(HR-SB). With 8 gold gloves(most all time by a left fielder). Simply the greatest player of all time.
After He got BiG Barry was FAR from 5 Tool
His arm was never Great
& after He bulked up He lost a lot of range out there in LF
So as His HR #’s went up His Defensive #’s went down
Way Up & Way Down
Barry should be in The HOF
But 5 Tool is ehhh even at His Best 5 Tool Time
His arm was ehhh
when he started juicing he became a one trick pony. he can't be said to be the greatest 5-tool player of all time when he only had 1 tool for half his career.
@@conedxit’s not fair for it to be labeled 1 tool though. That doesn’t do it justice. You take a 3 or even 4 tool player from that time and Bond’s value still outweighs any of them. During those early 2000s years, he still amassed near record WAR seasons while being this “one tool” player. So a metric that favors defense so heavily, he still had a top ten season WAR of all time.
Not anymore. Barry may be the greatest hitter, but he’s a 0 of a pitcher. Shohei ohtani has set a new bar that you have to be a dominant hitter *and* pitcher to be the greatest
@ThA MAN C MAcK You're crazy he was for sure a 5 tool. 8 gold gloves speak for themselves
Before roids Bonds was the greatest player of the 90s and it ain’t even close
Jaun gone Gonzalez lol
So Randy Johnson or Ken Griffey Jr don’t count then?
@@njmadson4951 griffey was second best position player after bonds
@@ethanniedorowski116 I thought it was Juan going going gone-zalez?
After roids he was still the greatest player and it wasn't close
Bonds from 01 to 04 was the greatest thing in the history of sports what makes him the greatest hitter ever he would see maybe two good pitches to hit a whole series and still put up those numbers imagine if he was pitched to consistently
Maybe the most feared player in team sports history.
Not just baseball.
Maybe American team sports
@@Zack_410I'm not fearing a posh chap kicking a soccer ball, sorry
@@Jayson_Tatum I encourage you to look up Roy Keane. Dude was a feared menace
How many world titles and championships did he strike fear into, oh zero, none dem, absolute fear of winning doesn’t mean shit…michael Jordan is the greatest arguable most feared player in “team” sports herstory, check the entire herstory, maybe Wayne Gretzky even, if I’m facing bonds, I walk him we win and we move on bonds goes home, again, still.,.
@@scottsharp1763there’s feared and there’s winners… I can’t compare Baseball to basketball… but no one wanted to pitch to Barry… his walks were insane… Baseball is different from basketball or hockey… who else only had one good pitch a night and made pitchers not want to pitch to him? Pitchers in baseball have a Huge advantage
Favorite Bonds stat: his career intentional walks gap is 372 higher than second place. That’s more than the difference between second place and dead last.
That’s unbelievable. Definitely stealing that one for my next Barry bonds internet argument lol
If U take away ALL of Wayne Gretzkys goals, he would still be the ALL TIME LEADING SCORER IN THE HERSTORY OF THE NHL.,.
we can make up or stick to any numbers someone puts together, bonds played in a watered down BS era of sports, and he was arguably the best BS player in the entire league, but never won anything, gold gloves don’t mean anything and he SUCKED AT DEFENSE BESIDES THAT HE WAS NO WHERE NEAR BETTER THAN MOST OTHER Outfielders EVER, NOT ONCE AND IN FACT SUCKED AT DEFENSE STILL….bonds was great and is also overrated at the same time, pinky swear.,.
8 gold gloves!! Most by any left fielder in the history of baseball. Stfu
@@scottsharp1763if he sucked at defense his WAR would be taking a massive hit. You sound like you're just an angry hater lol. Ofc Gold Gloves don't mean anything when it's bonds but when it's anyone else it does lmfao.
He played in arguably the most difficult, most competitive Era in all of baseball, where EVERYONE was cheating and putting up God like numbers. And he still outshined ALLLLL of them. Even before he started juicing like more than half the league had been doing for over 2 decades at that point.
Before he started doping he had better career stats than that of Ken Griffey Jr, McGwire, Willie Mays, etc. The numbers don't lie. And thats BEFORE his head grew 3 hat sizes.
And The Kid is my favorite player of all time and I can still tell you that you're just talking out your ass lmfao. He is the literal FURTHEST thing from overrated. That career WAR kind of implies he was the greatest player to EVER live.
@@travisp5747he isn’t that good
No question he’s the greatest, never will see a keen eye like this guy.
"Tetrahydrogestrinone? Wait...didn't see that..." -Bonds to his personal trainer, probably
Shohei Ohtani
Ohtani may be the best hitting pitcher but that's about it. Let's see where he is at in 15 years. BARRY BONDS ONLY member of the 500/500 club(Hr-Sb) . AND ALWAYS WILL BE! PERIOD.
@@schuyler_anderson "I supposedly loved baseball during the "steroid era", but I only complain all the time about Barry Bonds because he is so much better than everyone else and I am such a hypocrite"...Everyone that whines about Bonds being guilty of something he was never found guilty for to all of us all the time, definitely
@@GLee-oe3opbro he's played like 5 seasons you can't call him the greatest with 1 MVP, no rings, no records, only 2 incredibly dominant seasons as both a pitcher and hitter.
My 2 favorite players growing up were Barry Bonds and Griffey Jr. In 2003 the Giants came to Cincinnati and I got to see Bonds play. Sitting in right field on the foul side, Bonds hit a foul ball so hard it sounded like a Mack truck going over my head.
We knew Bonds was the greatest as it happened. I can tell you why. We actually physically saw it. There were his detractors who did not want to admit it, but we all knew it.
Modern stats are great, but it will never replace watching in real time.
I've gotten 74 homers in MLB the show 22 but it took me till the last few games of the season on the hardest difficulty. I alternated between simming and playing and it still took a large amount of luck and the best hitting i've ever done in that game haha. Barry somehow doing it in real life makes no sense to me at all. Juice doesn't help you see a pitch.
I hit 186 in a season
It doesn’t help you see the ball nope. But it helps you see it for longer due to your super human bat speed. In which you gained from rigorous wrist and forearm workouts where you were able to push the limits because your recovery time was drastically shortened due to a steroid regimen. Stop with that narrative cause it’s old and proven false.
Ted Williams is the greatest hitter of all time. Barry Bonds is the best home run hitter of all time. Barry saved the game of baseball.
Can we talk about how he bonds belongs in the hall… he’ll take away all the home runs, or the entirety of hits career as a giant, and he is still a hall of fame talent.
Doesn’t work that way because now you have shohei ohtani. He’s a hall of fame hitter and pitcher in one player
But you're right. Even before he started juicing he was a HOF talent. His stats at that point were better than Ken Griffey Jr and McGwire and Sosa but since he wasn't hitting 60 home runs everyone overlooked him so he started juicing too. The whole fucking league was, and the MLB itself was encouraging them. To have MANY other cheaters in the Hall (from PEDS and roids users to amphetamine addicts) but not him is such a disgrace.
@@GLee-oe3op what does he have to do with bonds career and his impact for decades…
@@GLee-oe3opInjury prone though
Barry Bonds. All his numbers for hitting. You can not say he would have still had the same numbers without taking steroids. It shame, too, but he only has himself to blame. He could have had a hall a fame career, but instead, he had an asterisk career.
All of my favorite players were steroid users, with Bonds easily topping that list. Say what you will about PED use, but there’s nothing like a big baseball whacked guys smashing baseballs into orbit. The fact that Bonds had insane stats outside of the home runs is even better. Best of all time, for me.
It's funny how baseball fans seem to treat this era as totally clean. The infamy that baseball went through with the steroid scandal has led a lot of fans to villify that era and prop up the current one. But fans in other sports are pretty honest and aware of the rampant ped use in their professional sports, ped use is just better hidden these days. Now, in order for ped use to be hidden, they do use less than they did back then. No one is full on juicing so it is different. But people who say it's a clean era or ped free era are ignorant. It's a lesser PED era not a no PED era.
I love this series. I would also love if you guys could do one on any of these pitchers and years…
Pedro Martínez 1997-2003ish somewhere in that time frame.
Randy Johnson 1999-2002 or even up to 2004 which was a great year for him as well.
Greg Maddux 1992-1998 or somewhere about in that time frame.
This was my generation growing up as a kid watching these guys. Thanks for this!
Randy’s Dbacks career was easily the greatest, most dominant starting pitching runs of all time. He essentially took what Pedro did in 97-00 and topped it. I believe he averaged 350 strikeouts for 5 years. That will never be topped again. Go look at how many innings that MF threw too 👀 mind boggling
Pedro's 99 and 2000 seasons are arguably the 1 and 2 best pitching seasons all time...
In the middle of the greatest roid offensive seasons all time.
Clemons needs in to
Adam Dunn holding Bonds to that single in RF might have been the most impressive thing in the video 😂
Bonds is _undoubtedly_ the greatest hitter that’s ever lived and should have been a first ballot HOFer. If they let Big Papi in, there’s no reason not to let Bonds in.
Steroids is the reason No?
@@marckowalski1640 he was a hall of fame before he did anything have you not watched the first two videos
@@marckowalski1640 people bitching and moaning is the reason
Imagine putting prime bonds in the Covid year, I wonder what kind of insane stats he’d put up. He could’ve put up a 2.0 ops
I’m a little older than you guys, and I remember all of this Barry Bonds Era. I also live in Oakland, and even over here, Bonds was on the “front page” from 2001 to 2004, in particular. I went to Game 5 of the 2002 Series in SF, where Barry had a home run and there was just a belief that the Series was done. Now that I look back on it, what Barry did was just unreal. And yet…It is astonishing that the Giants, and Barry, never won it all.
Also…Pittsburgh Barry was no Mr. Nice Guy…How did the “Rookie of the Year” producers get Barry to be 1) In their movie, and 2) Agree to be shown striking out, and in a situation where he looked genuinely bad doing so? How much dough did he get for that?
I’ve always thought that. Considering he wouldn’t even allow himself appear in video games lol
Imagine how much fwar roided/ HGh Mike trout would put up. Or how many homers Ichiro would have if he did steroids during his age 35-45 seasons
wow Mike and Bailey on screen together, proving they are different people (because I always forget that because I am smrt)
What I love about this series is the fact that it shows how much the label "cheater" can overshadow greatness.
I suggest a deep dive of Pete rose next!!
To give you an idea of what this era of Bonds meant for me as a Giants fan who was around 10 during these years and how much he skewed the curve, I went to a Cardinals @ Giants game in 2004 and my uncle tells me "They got this guy named Pujols on the Cardinals who is looking like he may well be the next Barry Bonds." and I looked at his numbers and thought "Wow he seems kinda overrated." During the 01-04 stretch Pujols had an OBP of .413, an OPS+ of 167, four top-4 MVP finishes, and 160 home runs. Dude was a generational player, a dude who became a no doubt first ballot hall of famer by like his 8th season, and yet compared to Bonds, for me as a 10 year old watching (and perhaps taking for granted) peak Bonds he felt comparatively pedestrian.
just like a black hole bends the laws of physics, Bonds bent the rules on baseball.
I'm going back to "The Show 20" and see if I can sim and get 72HRs in a season.
Challenge accepted.
update ?
Oh my god. All my favorite baseball TH-cam channels have been on this series. It's like my friends from different groups getting together and hanging out
i dont know if it helped or hurt but the baseball season stopped for awhile after 9-11 so to take time off then get back at it is pretty good, wonder what his post 9-11 stats were for the 01 season
After 9/11 he hit .408, .633 obp, 1.082 slg, 301wrc+ lol
10 hr in 49ab
@@allstarr9tc so the rest helped him
@@Brand-ju4jm possibly. Even if you count the games in September prior to 9/11 (so 9 games), his sept/oct stats were by far his best month.

@@allstarr9tcridiculous lmao
THE BEST HITTER/HR HITTER EVER TO PICK UP A BAT. I watched him come up to bat with 2 out and nobody on base and he got an intentional walk. I also saw him come up to bat with the bases loaded and he got an intentional walk. That's fuckin insane!
i LOVE the fact he decided to take hitting to the maximum level possible.
love the LA Noire music in the background haha
Put Bonds in the Hall. I don't give a damn about roids. No one but NO ONE was as good as Barry
Huge Pop for Foolish Bailey’s appearance
In those days; rumor was: during BP Bonds would call out balls and strikes as soon as the ball left the pitcher’s hand.
You failed to mention his greatest stats during this era!
Jersey: 42 > 52
Shoe: 10.5 > 13
Hat: 7.25 > 7.75
He was the only player I ever watched where getting out wasn't even in your mind. It was either a homer or a walk. The only 2 possible outcomes for this guy in his prime.
If they pitched to him and wasn't blackballed, he'd have a 1000+ homers.
There were so many people using these performance enhancing substances then, and probably now, and it made baseball fun to watch. These juiced up players saved baseball and all you guys want to do is judge them for trying to entertain you. So many of the players were on this stuff that it makes just about anything you say about it irrevelant. Cheating would be fixing the outcome of the games. Trying to make yourself more physically dominant and capable is not cheating. Unless you want to make the claim that lifting weights, eating food, and practicing is cheating...
The bullpen blew game 6, Bonds did make a crucial fielding mistake in the OF but it didn't cost them the game. Dusty took out Ortiz in the 7th, who was pitching a shutout to that point, a crucial mistake. Game 7 the Giants SP was Livan Hernandez, who was trash that season.
Steroids or not, this man saw the baseball better than anyone else.
The most amazing stat in this video is that Mat is from the United States of America and had no idea what “Froyo” is.
You guys forgot to mention this fun fact:
In 2004, Barry Bonds reached base 376 times, despite only having 373 at bats.
Super barry....
My favorite bonds stat, he only hit over 50 home runs one time.
This dude spent 3 years only seeing 2-3 pitches a game that weren't complete balls and hit them out at a ridiculous rate. Nobody has ever, will ever, probably be that good ever. Regardless of roids he's the goat. This series only solidifies this.
Barry bonds still holds the real records because everyone was roided up
Barry IS the greatest EVER!
Barry Bonds is the Wilt Chamerlain of baseball
Babe Ruth is the Wilt Chamberlain.
Or rather, it's the other way around.
Every significant hitting record in the book belonged to Ruth when he retired.
He STILL is the all time leader in Slugging% OPS, and OPS+.
Oh, he also won an ERA title, and held the consecutive scoreless inning streak in World Series play of 29 innings.
He also is the left handed pitcher with the highest winning percentage against the Yankees with at least 10 decisions:
10-3 .769 winning%.
Ruth towers over everyone in the game.
As a kid growing up in the Bay Area during bonds time with the giants I can say first hand my pops would literally turn the giants game on and off just to watch bonds hit
The reason he didn't hit as many as 2001 is the pitchers became scared and they pitched around him constantly. In 01 more of the pitchers supported his effort
Bonds is the best player of all time.
In my opinion. The guy never won a championship. Therefore he can't be considered the best of all time
@ThePaulyIsReel The rings analogy is a false analogy.
That would be like saying Eli Manning was a better QB than Dan Marino cause he won rings, and Marino never won one.
A ridiculous, and embarrassing argument.
@@thepaulyisreel3370 not how baseball works.
@@thepaulyisreel3370 Baseball is too much of a team sport to make that assertion. Mike Trout is the goat of our current generation, but he only has played in like 3 postseason games. Championships shouldn’t matter when talking about baseball greats, this isn’t basketball.
love these videos! and i love the gamecube music from when you leave the lid open also lol
Barry has got to be in The HOF .
As does Charlie Hustle 🤴🏻
Just tell their stories
No asterisk*
Just their stories
Let it be known the reasons why some people feel they shouldn’t be in The HOF
But that it’s irrefutable when they played they were absolutely amongst Thee Very Best that’s ever played The Game
Putting up Hit 👑 #’s
HR 👑 #’s Both Career & Season
Come on
The Rocket is obviously an HOF as well
They made it fun to watch The Game
To tell the story of MLB and leave out Bonds or Rose is absurdly ludicrous
@@teen_laqueefa Indeed
You guys should do a video on the 2002 Anaheim Angels One of the most underrated teams in the last 25 years people talk about the Yankees people talk about the Giants. People even talk about the Oakland A's of that season, but nobody ever seems to talk about the World Series winning Angels a wild card team full of role players and no Hall of famers Just a really good team uniting as one defying the odds and winning the World Series One of you guys whether it be Mike whether it be Matt someone should definitely do a video on that team because they are criminally underrated
They had the best bullpen. Let alone when k rod came in later that season, they were even nastier
Adding that to my video idea list!
FOOLISH BAILEY!!!! LETS GO!!!!
Trout's career has been similar to bonds to this point. Imagine if he started taking steroids. We might see a Bonds 2.0.
I disagree Mike Trout strikes out too much golookup bonds strikeout numbers way less
@RayMagic12192 everyone strikes out more. Bonds was not facing the kind of movement or velocity that trout does today. Literally, strikeouts are up league wide.
Trout is more comparable to Manny Ramirez than Bonds. Bonds made batting look like table tennis
Smh...prior to 2001 (aka prior to him juicing), did you EVER hear ANYONE, even the most die hard SF Giants fan ever say Bonds was the greatest hitter ever???
It was not until he started juicing that he became a real life version of Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl....
Baseball fans of the future will not believe us when we tell them about how much better Bonds was than everybody else.
People like to talk about Judge having a good year, he did, but he played in Yankee stadium which is a great hitters park too. He probly would have hit 90 there as well in 2001.
Yesss the collab we needed
Yes, they knew how great he was. I knew how great he was. My dad knew how great he was. My mom knew how great he was. My mailman knew how great he was. Everyone knew how great he was.
I'm from Frisco I'm alittle older so I remember 2001 to 2004 barry was a unicorn u heard about it but when u see it it's a special time miss those days
The pitch clock is the best thing ever invented in baseball. It makes the game so much more enjoyable. People just don't have the attention span like 20 yrs ago so im all for it
I'd just like to say. The irony of Barry Bonds, losing to the angels (who's entire thing today is losing despite having 2 generational talents) is not lost as me. And I'm an angels fan. My life is pain!
I thought yall won a world series wit puljos
I once sat in right field upper deck at c stick all hitters looked like they were late on every pitch except one and that one met ball bat and plate perfectly timed home run i got to tell mr bonds i saw this and that he was one of the best he actually was humbled and said thank you Barry just wanted us to appreciate him and thanks boys for this such power average everything i domt think he ever tried all out he knew he had to last carew gwinn mays aaron mick ted babe stan so many great but for 5 years bonds warped the game froze it as babe had maybe ted if no ww2 or kores service or mick if healthy but Barry froze the game it they never pitched to him and if they did out i went to the games it was surreal to watch
Interesting: in 2002 Bonds was never intentionally walked with a man on third and no outs. (3 pa's, 1 walk, 1 K, 1 RBI). but with one out and a man on third, in 14 plate appearances, he was walked intentionally 13 times. In 2003, he was walked intentionally 5 times. WITH THE BASES EMPTY. 4 times with two out. So, it's two outs, bases empty, guy walks up to the plate, and the manager just says, "put him on base... just forget about it" 2004 was even crazier. 19 times he was intentionally walked with the bases empty. 8 times he was walked with men on first and second with 2 outs. 7 times with 2 outs and a man only on first.
Wish Aaron judge fans pull up barry bonds upper deck Homer in 2001 in old Yankee stadium they went from booing him to cheering for him crazy feat
Bonds statistically his only comparison in any sport would have to be Sir Don Bradman or Gretzky. Only 3 athletes in their respective sports that were literally miles ahead of their peers
More home runs than strike outs?!
15:40 I don't think it's a drop off , they just stopped pitching to him
You guys get it! He was the best ever!
'whats with these quest coast teams wasting the talent of their superstars?" Jacob DeGrom, Aaron Judge, Bryce Harper? lmaooo
My dad has told me multiple times of the time he saw Barry Bonds play college baseball against UT in Austin and he says he's one of the greatest players he ever saw
Anyone who watched him play could tell you he’s the best hitter of all time
@15:30 you are wondering why Bonds dropped off from 73 to 46 homeruns. It's pretty simple. On the surface he played in 10 less games (I'm too lazy to actually check how many of the 143 he played in were just pinch hit situations) so he had 52 less plate appearances (664 to 612) AND he walked 21 more times so that culminated in 73 less opportunities to homer. His homerun rate also dipped from one every 6.5 at bats (2001) to one every 8.8, but even so, that still means he probably could have hit another 8 or so.
In 2003 he just played less (130 games, 550 plate appearances, but still hit 45 HRs in 390 at bats ((1 hr every 8.7 ab))), I believe he had a minor injury or was dealing with his dad's passing.
And of course in 2004 no one wanted to pitch to the guy anymore. Still hit 45 home runs again in 373 at bats (147 games, 617 plate appearances, 45 HRs, 232 walks, 1HR every 8.3 ABs)
Dope Paris, Texas hoodie!!
0:45 the Juggernog theme with Bonds highlights 😂
Tony Gwynn was a much better hitter than Bonds, I believe Bonds struck out almost 3x as much as Gwynn did through out his career.
Greatest Player I've ever seen
First time mentioning the juice at 25 minutes, honestly quite impressive.. just like Barry and the On Base numbers.
Say what you want about him, but God was he impressive.
Here's a fun fact for you guys: it's no surprise that, being the overall career home run leader, Barry Bonds has the most home runs in team losses in MLB history, with 269 (A-Rod is 2nd at 245). But his 493 in team wins trail Albert Pujols at 500, Hank Aaron at 512, and Babe Ruth at 526.
Also, if you're looking for overall dominance of a sport, it's hard to top Wayne Gretzky's 5-year span from 1981-1986. During that span, he scored 28% more goals than the next-best player (Mike Bossy) and 69% more assists than the next-best player (Peter Stastny), combining for 66% more points than Bossy; had a plus-minus 52% higher than the next-best player (Paul Coffey); and put up 11% more shots on goal than the next-best player (Marcel Dionne), combining for 37% more Hockey-Reference point shares during that span than the next-best player (Coffey) and 62% more than the next-best forward (Bossy). Edmonton did win the Stanley Cup twice during the span, so he has Bonds beat on that front, but it also goes kind of without saying that Gretzky took home 5 consecutive MVPs (his 3rd-7th of 8 consecutive and 9 total).
best hitter I ever saw, for sure
The best comparison for bonds has got to be Messi or MJ
Great video have a great day
Used to work at ball park back then and he was first there had like 3 of his own pitchers would get in 3 rounds before the team took there first flick of the wrist and gone amazing approach his eye second to none miss those days 😂😂😢😢
Not acknowledging the dominance of Bonds from 2001-2004 is like ignoring Shakespeare -- these are humans? who executed in their chosen profession.. maybe art.. at the very ceiling. I was at games where he'd legitimately get one decent pitch to swing at -- ONE pitch across all his at bats that day -- and it would end up 450 feet away. Who can do that?
I'm sure his head size growth was from all that Shakespeare he was reading.
You take one of the best ever, and make him one of the biggest cheaters in the game, and yeah, he'll put up video game numbers. That is why he is hated. He was SOOO good, and he tarnished the most sacred records in the game. McGuire should thank him, because if not for Bonds, McGuire would get even more hate.
And if not Bonds or McGuire...somebody else would get all the hate because so many people just gotta hate on somebody.
Not to mention, as someone born in a state without a major league team, the MLB was far, FAR more entertaining and interesting in the 00's than it is now. I don't care who was on what.
Paris Texas hoodie goes hard 👌
Wild that Bonds had 11.9 bWAR in 2001, despite having -1.2 defensive WAR
It's kind of annoying how everyone focuses on bonds age when he hit 73, but yet no one mentions how Mcgwire was 35 when he hit 70...... the reason I say this is cuz bonds gets all sorts of hate for being over 35 and hitting 73. No one, and I mean no one mentions how old mcgwire was when he hit 70. Leave Barry alone people
I don't think the age is why he gets the hate it's the drugs (that were legal at the time) and his being a nasty person. that being said put the best baseball player ever In the damn hall already
I think the age gets brought up more in line with that was the STARTING age for the insane 4 years. With 73 just happening to be the first of the four.
@tupacalypse88 well he still gets the hate over age with the drugs. But yet again. Never hear about mcgwire. Never hear about Sosa. Hell Bagwell made it into the hall, and bonds still being hated on. Everyone needs to let it go
@@thecaveman3503 cause he was a d--ick buddy people don't like him his own college team voted him off so he got horrible press to a stronger leval
Love the L.A. Noire music
Wayne Gretzky is a great example for someone who blows everyone else out of the water
Except for Mario Lemieux. There's also Mike Bossy who gives him a run for his money.
yes, but still not close to how much better Bonds was than everyone else I don't think.
Mario Lemieux had dominant stats like Gretzky.
In 2002 Bonds would have been All Star MVP( game was called a tie by Selig), Regular season MVP and World Series MVP if they had won!Troy Glaus🤔PED
If Barry Bonds was every hitter in the Giants, he would have had 1,233 runs scored for his team, an MLB record, by taking his stats from 2001.( how I found it was by taking the RBIs and multiplying by 9)
Bro was playing the music from LA Noire in the background.
If I may, it was pointed out that because of his frustration, jealousy and anger at the fact that McGwire and Sosa were seen as heroes in 1998, when at least one if not both were juicing, Bonds basically told the world "Hold my beer," as if to say give me this stuff and I'll prove that I'm better than any of these guys.
What you say is true, but I don’t think there was any jealousy, I just think he was pissed off and wanted to show what a great player on the juice could do.
I’ve gotten looney tunes seasons with Luis Gonzalez and a whole bunch of other players in OOTP and have never gotten an OBP even close to ‘04. The closest I got was a .541 from Gonzalez and it was a 16 WAR season and it still wasn’t even close. (His whole statline for u curious geeks)
Avg: .450
OBP: .541

Barry bonds is def my fav all player of all time. You have to consider Albert Pujols up there with him. Maybe not as dangerous but alberts first 10 years were better than barrys first 10 years.
I wonder how all those guys hit so many home runs from the mid 90s to the mid 2000s? I wonder how they did it? I wonder how they did it? I wonder. I wonder how all of a sudden after decades and decades people started breaking Roger Maris' home run record? Now how did this happen? I have nothing against steroids in baseball..It should be legal I suppose..But there should be seperate record books for them. And seperate Hall Of Fames for them..Me and my friends partied our asses off in the 70s, 80s, and 90s on all sorts of drugs. But we aways respected baseball players because they didn't have to do drugs to be cool like rock stars did. But that's just me..I may be wrong about all this. frankny65yroldwhitekid rockfan
