To me, one of the most amazing things about Bonds' insane home run total is how many of them he hit off lefties. People can say whatever they want about Bonds, but he belongs in the Hall of Fame every bit as much as any other player who's already there. I said what I said.
Yeah, greatest hitter to ever live. No doubt about that. But he cheated for years and lied about it, and continues to lie about it. For that reason, I don't think he belongs in the Hall. If one day he'll publicly admit and apologize for what he did, then maybe he'd have a shot. Some say what Bonds, McGwire, Sosa, etc. did was the best thing that ever happened to the game, but many players who played the game the honestly and with integrity would disagree.
@@DTB1995 not a showboat, but a narcissistic me first arrogant dugout cancer with a big dangling cross earring to piss off your dad. And I loved Bonds! Also, he was a bit of a showboat sometimes. Especially in Pittsburgh.
The craziest thing about Barry’s career and stats is that out of anyone who’s ever played major league ball, by far, not even in the same galaxy, has anyone seen fewer hittable pitches than Bonds did. NO ONE would pitch to him. He managed to hit 73 dingers in one season, while being intentionally walked like 118 times. Thats not counting the other like 200 walks that were basically intentional just by not throwing to him. It’s an insurmountable feet. No one will EVER do what he did with so few pitches to do it with.
The D-Backs, up by 2 in the ninth intentionally walked him with the bases loaded. They gave a run out of fear of him hitting a grand slam. It worked, next guy up flied out, ball game over.
@@kidacid03Griffey doesn’t even come close. Look at the numbers. Argument can be made Griffey didn’t take steroids and thus suffered more injuries. But numbers on Bonds are stuff of Strat-o-matic fantasy
Bonds has to be the most disciplined hitter of all time. Those years he walked like 232 times and still mauled every pitch in his zone. Absolutely incredible.
Funny story, speaking of how rarely Barry got to see hittable pitches. One time I saw a game between the Giants and the Padres where Jeff Kent was batting in front of Bonds in the lineup. The Giants got a couple of runners on with Kent coming up. You knew the Padres didn't want to walk Kent and load up the bases for Bonds, so Jeff got 3 straight fat fastballs right down the middle and he finally crushed the third one for a homer! The Padres announcers were laughing as Kent rounded the bases, and they were saying that Barry should actually get credit for the homer as the only reason Kent got such fat pitches was that Barry was on deck. They said that Bonds didn't see 3 pitches that fat in a whole week's worth of games and Kent got them all in one at bat!
@vladtheimpaler7375 he did what a lot of players at the time did , or did you miss the BALCO report? There are so many major names from a plethora of sports / teams.
@@flame-sky7148 Yes 100% but if you are not doing everything in your power whether natural or unnatural to keep your testosterone high you are missing out on life. So don't hate it till you try it. Most of the shitty food you eat is killing your liver anyways.
Imagine telling someone you can't take what you are taking to improve your performance but are encouraged to drink soda, eat fast-food and scroll on your phone day and night.
Yeah exactly! You’re allowed to chug booze, chew tobacco and eat McDonald’s but you can’t take substances that help your muscles recover after workouts….? Um ok
Imagine playing a video game that’s considered extremely difficult, but then just making it easy by punching in a cheat code 😂😂 you sound like a 12 year old with that dumbass analogy
Barry is the only baseball player in history that every time he stepped up to the plate the fans knew he's either getting walked or hitting a dinger. Insane talent, best baseball player to ever do it. I will always love Barry
No the fuck he absolutely was NOT. He’s not even in the top 5 fanboy. Griffey was 1,000 times better than he EVER was. It isn’t even a debate. No roids, constantly injured all throughout his 30’s. And STILL hit over 650 homers. Bonds did everything he did off of roid boosts. He isn’t even in the same league as Griffey. NO ONE was. Griffey was the best to ever step on the field, not “Barry Bonds”.. Stop bein a fanboy.
@@dazdavis7896this hilarious because you think every homer Bonds hit was on roids. dude hit just under 500 before ever using roids in 1998 which just shows how much of a fanboy you really are
Bonds might have been as talented at hitting as anyone was talented at anything. It's literally the most obviously anomolistic talent I've ever seen. It's like Steph Curry's shooting or Michael Phelps with his lactic acid thing. In baseball, hitting is so deterministic that someone who is consistent is important. A consistent run or homer is as valuable as could possibly be. Barry Bonds's hand eye was like 1 in a billion.
Perfect / Perfect /24 / 7 This man just crushed the ball... wish we had todays stats back then, I wonder how many 117+ mph shots he launched into the statosphere.
A crazy stat about Bonds is even if you took away all his intentional walks (688) he would still almost have 2k walks (1942) and still be 5th all time in walks. His eye and plate patience was amazing
@@user-nn4ei3iu3syou do know steroids doesn’t help hand eye coordination right ? Which is about 90% of what hitting the ball is, yeah you didn’t know that so go away
Take his stats through '98 and he's a HoF player. Should be 4 straight MVPs. Crazy that Pendleton won it. Arguably, had better stats in the mid-late 90s MVP winners as well.
I remember watching that homer off Russ Ortiz @ Atlanta 17:49 live on ESPN as a teenager. I’m pretty sure he hit three in a game around that time. The guy was clearly the greatest, but man, he was a sunnuvabitch.
It's amazing how back in 1988 ,89, and 90 he looked like a twig next to teammate Bobby Bonilla with the Pirates than all of the sudden he's blown up with the Giants ! The guy was clearly on steroids you don't just get THAT BIG !.. But that has nothing to do with hand/eye coordination he was the best Baseball player like him or not in his era..
I remember seeing a picture of his forearms and thinking “I get it now” would love to know what his bat speed was because it would be a blink and the ball is FLYING! Easily the GOAT!
This is why no matter what he should have made the HOF every stadium he was at was cheering him on. All that money he brought the league and they going to act like it didn’t even happen. Sports is entertainment and he was the best at it
Yeah...so good, I had to go tho the drugstore to buy some drugs, really needed some juice, he was that good. All the things he naturally could do, no cheating or anything illegal, he just was so good, no reason for him to enhance his performance, a real role model: just a great player with a great character. I seemingly have missed his HOF introduction ceremony.... I bet it was great.
Anyone notice the homer from the 98 all star game in denver and his 400th homer in Miami both balls landed by the giants logo at their stadiums...hows that for greatness,man should be in the hall of fame,hes the greatest to ever play the game
People can say how much of a bad guy Barry is, yet seem to go blank when you bring up what Ty Cobb did yet hes in the Hall but Barry isn't.......but when you keep it on purely baseball, He is easily one of the best to ever do it. Legit 5 tool guy with the sweet swing
Bonds clearly belongs in the Hall of Fame. His amazing play, including 3 MVPS before the steroids scandal, made him a Hall of Famer. While Bonds is the greatest home run hitter, he is not baseball's best player. That title belongs to Willie Mays, whose hitting and play in center field made him the best. A dozen gold gloves as well as 660 homeruns and a raft of other amazing feats make Mays the greatest-ever.
“He hits it HIGH, he hits it DEEEEEEEEEEEEEP……” Love that call. 😂❤️
Duane Kuiper is one of the best play by play MLB announcers of all time

Steroids don't mean you get into the HOF!!!!

He needs to be in the HOF. People seem to forget about all the Home Runs he hit way before he got huge. He had the perfect swing .
He could have been the best player ever without steroids. He just made a selfish decision.
@vladtheimpaler7375 he did what a lot of players at the time did , or did you miss the BALCO report?
There are so many major names from a plethora of sports / teams.
Him and Ken Griffey have the best looking swings imo
I agree. Robbie cano was legit too
They both murdered the ball in a similar fashion to what you did with grammar.
his swing is nowhere as pretty as griff but its the most devastating swing of all time. griffey was pure sweetness
Bonds didn’t have daddy issues like Griffey
8558 1:12
Amazing display of talent and hand & eye coordination.
It's amazing what steroids can do to improve one's hitting
Its amazing what steroids can do with pitchers arms to improve in speed and spin. Since more pitchers used PEDs than players.
@@flame-sky7148 Yes 100% but if you are not doing everything in your power whether natural or unnatural to keep your testosterone high you are missing out on life. So don't hate it till you try it. Most of the shitty food you eat is killing your liver anyways.
Barry Bonds bat speed was insane when he came into the league! Bonds deserves to be in the Hall of Fame!
The best parts were the pitchers' reactions as soon as he hit it. A couple of them didn't even turn around lol.
Pitchers still do that to this day but it was way more pronounced when Bonds hit moon shots. xD
He literally has a 21 minute montage of him hitting homers. Case closed
Case frickin closed incredible
Greatest bat ever. Not even close.
Dude he is so fracking good. Him and Babe Ruth are the greatest power hitters ever perioid.
Respectfully, im not counting someone who didn't face real competition and ill leave it that.
I would include Hank Aaron or Pujols before Babe Ruth lol
This guy is hands down the greatest mlb player of alltime.his hand/eye coordination is unmatched.🐐🐐🐐

17:49 of my favorite Jon Miller calls. The instant “THAT ball is GONE! WOW!” is so satisfying to hear.
Nice seeing old Jack Murphy Stadium. Brings back many memories. I saw Barry destroy Padres pitching there many times.

It was an absolute honor to be a Giants fan from the Bay area to experience this in real time!
They are the best. Though Kruk and Kuip are getting old and poor health, so end of an era soon.

I love this. Never gets old. Love it

This man just crushed the ball... wish we had todays stats back then, I wonder how many 117+ mph shots he launched into the statosphere.
The world's first unpitchable player.
SF's park is an amazing place to watch a game. The only stadium in the world to have a bowling alley and billiards inside the park.
Best hitter in MLB history.
A crazy stat about Bonds is even if you took away all his intentional walks (688) he would still almost have 2k walks (1942) and still be 5th all time in walks. His eye and plate patience was amazing
The best hitter that ever stepped on the diamond
He should be in the hall of fame. He should have made it just from his career as a pirate.
Best Baseball player ever!!
This man was an absolute beast. I bet those pitchers hated when he was at bat
The best baseball player of time. No doubt. I miss him
Had they pitched 2 him he would hit 1000 homers no doubt
Can you imagine? If they instituted like a hack a Shaq type rule to force pitchers to throw to him?
Not without the steroids he wouldn't

Bonds the goat 🐐. Greatest hitter
He hit the SF flag in the all star game in coors, that’s pretty wild to me
Dude hit TANKS!!!
Take his stats through '98 and he's a HoF player. Should be 4 straight MVPs. Crazy that Pendleton won it. Arguably, had better stats in the mid-late 90s MVP winners as well.
Remember he is the only MLB player with 500 hr and 500 steals
The 500 and 500 club
Plus he has golden glove rewards too
The blast he hit. In Yankees 🏟 depp into . Upper Deck
Bonds stood away from the plate early on. As he got so jacked up he got closer and wore more armor. In the end, he had more armor than an NHL goalie.
really just kinda nice to hear Lanny Frattere 😊
You can actually see how much freakishly bigger he gets throughout the video, including his cranium.

Best hitter period. He's been WALKED MORE THAN ANY1 in ⚾️ history. They don't tell you that. Most homeruns plus most walks equals THE BEST HITTER.
Well best slugger. Teddy Baseball will always be the best hitter.
@1who4me NO 1 stood up to intentionally walk Ted Williams. Yes, he's the last 1 to hit .400 but he wasn't feared.
The greatest Major League Baseball player OF ALL TIME!!!
What's mind-boggling is that Barry didn't need to take roids to be the best hitter ever... he already was
Roids or not, you cant teach that eye. Guy needs to be in the HOF
He was the master of the sweet part of the bat.
@8:36 emphatic call that reminds me of witnessing this greatness as a teen... Chills!
Dude never changed his swing ever....

Hey Mr. Bonds , play in Colorado for a year
No doubt in my mind BB could probably hit the warehouse in Baltimore.
I like ur channel name bro
Man among boys
