zepstrumentals Lol.. There’s really no argument.. The correct word is, “Farthest,” because it involves distance. It’s often misused by otherwise intelligent people. Just listen to Joe Buck butcher it here.
For those of you wondering why bonds looks pissed in the dugout after, it's because his teammates have a terrible approach. Especially Jeff Kent. Kent went up there with the intention to pull a ball deep, no matter what the pitcher was doing. You can see him trigger on every pitch; he even triggered on the slider that was 8 inches out of the zone! His hips started and he had to hold himself back. He was on time for the one in the middle of the zone and that's why he fouled it, but he was trying to pull it for power. He could have easily flared it for a single but he wasn't trying to get on base, he was trying to be the hero. With Bonds right behind him, are you kidding me? The announcers caught it. There's no excuse for that.
Exactly bonds was almost a guaranteed home run, why would you be not just try to be get on base and let Bonds do his thing. Especially at that junction of the game.
@@n1ck_kc1n Fair enough, but I don't think that should change the approach of his teammates. So they walk him again, that still brings the winning run to the plate. Kent should put the ball in play.
@@1865Highst Most definitely agree! The stakes at the time, the lineup approaching, it all screams get on base above all else. BUT, selfishly, I would rather have this bomb of a HR by Bonds than a win by SF at the time :).
@@doc8013 bonds was one of the greatest players of all time before steroids. And in this era, there were people on roids the whole time taking credit away from him. Name one person who’s done what bonds did
@@jibbymarket really bro? You couldn't just let us have that one? Man he hit that ball a mile! "Uhhh no nice try it was actually 630 ft but OK go on witcher delusions regarding distance I suppose wow"
@@jibbymarket Baseball is pathetic now. It's hot again but the delicate egos and babying the players and huge contracts and strikes during the pandemic. And the umpires? MLB is a joke. Lol and the 6,000 ALMOST fights per year. Everyone knows how good Bonds was. Gold glove winner all that but, Oh and fuck the hall of fame, tbh the best eye and plate discipline I've ever seen was Barry Bonds and Manny Ramirez though Bonds was ahead. Steroids can't help you know when to swing and when to let it pass.
I know how polarizing Barry Bonds was and is. However, as someone who has been watching baseball since the 1950's, I can say that Barry Bonds was the most disciplined and most dangerous hitter I have ever seen. I enjoyed seeing him play. What makes his story sad is that he didn't need to cheat to be a great player.
@@bigmacdaddy1234 that's fine. Just as long as you feel the same about steroids in other sports. Especially football. I hope you call football players who use steroids cheaters. That's my biggest complaint about this. Football players who use steroids are nowhere near vilified as much as baseball players are. And it's rare to hear someone say that a football player "cheated" when they're caught using steroids. I've never understood that
my pops and I concluded he was hands down the best hitter either of us had ever seen in like 1990 (he grew up in the 50s and 60s). Bonds' bat speed was absolutely unreal, even when he was a skinny guy stealing 40+ bases.
Its a GARBAGE RECORD that needs to erased from the MLB archives. You can see the GUILT on his face as he rounds the bases and slithers shamefully into the dugout...
I worked at angel stadium at this time. I was up in the right field view level. I kid you not the ball went out of the stadium and landed where we lined for roll call before the game. I tell this story at least a few times a year. It was incredible.
I was at the old Mile High Stadium in Denver for a game with the Giants during Bond's steroid rampage. He hit a line drive that never went higher than about 12 feet that hit high off the wall in right about 360 if I remember. Larry Walker who was in right field for the Rockies raced back and played it perfectly off the fence as the sound reverberated throughout the ballpark. Walker's great arm had the ball back to the infield before Bonds could get any farther than first base. I'm not sure that the ball had even reached it's zenith before hitting the fence. A millimeter higher on the bat and they'd still be looking for that one. Bonds wasn't even out of the batter's box when it hit the fence sounding like a car wreck. Hardest ball I've ever seen hit.
same here second deck just up from first base, it's the loudest i've ever heard someone hit a baseball and it just hung up there for what seemed like forever. i never cared for bonds as a person but im really glad i got to see him in in his prime especially in a moment like this.
I love how the announcer already knows it’s not the farthest homer that Barry ever hit lol. Don’t get me wrong that ball at Yankee stadium was unbelievable but I’ve watched this homer live at my house and in all replays I’ve never seen the balll land. You usually see movement in the stands when the ball is about to land but I see nothing. I don’t care what that announcer said find me a ball that went further and I’ll call you a liar. Griffey, A Rod, Ichiro, Trout all fantastic ball players but before or after steroids Barry Bonds was the greatest player in my lifetime and it’s not close!
@@alan30189 not like now. Look at the power numbers. There is a reason why Triple A is on pace to absolutely shatter the home run record... and this is the first year they are using the major league ball.
Pause at 3:42. Dude had 3 walks on the day and one ab. He probably didnt even have to swing in the plate appearances where he walked. Then in the 9th after Percival Has sat down 2 hitters with ease the first strike Barry sees is hit to the moon. That's amazing
@@evanwrenn402 How do you know he’s the greatest hitter of all time simple besides his fans when great coaches and players are asked “who do you think the greatest hitter in the history of the game was?” They generally all answer quick and with a smirk on their face “Barry Bonds, no question not even close, Bonds was the best hitter I’ve ever seen in my life” it’s sad that pitchers can do blow, guys can use all sorts of cheating ways going back to the beginning of baseball but somehow Bonds is so hated. He’s the best and outside of Griffey jr most beautiful swing to ever touch a baseball bat (also don’t forget all the gold gloves)
@@daviddill6605 In actuality, Babe Ruth is nothing but a candy bar. Dude couldn’t hit jack squat off today’s pitchers. Bonds would crush the old days had he been alive and allowed to play. The latter being the key.
No babe Ruth was a much greater baseball player then Barry bonds you have to be joking about your statement on Ruth and what his abilities today would be he would crush the ball
Bonds was the only player I’ve ever seen intentionally walked with the bases loaded. I’ve never seen that ever again... 4/15/22 Seager walked with the bases loaded
There's also video on RUclips of a minor leaguer in CO bombing one 582 (Meyer) Barely even got it on camera. Too bad it wasn't in the majors so we'd have eight.differnet camera angles.
The most feared hitter ever! This guy made a science out of it. Incredible hand/eye coordination with an eye that could see the zone better than the ump. I used to LOVE to watch this guy bat he was a MACHINE & it did not matter WHO was pitching. Like Greg Maddox stated... walk him do NOT challenge him. its only a matter of LUCK if you get this guy out because in order to do that you gotta throw STRIKES or he'll walk because he doesn't swing at balls. He rarely strikes out because of that eagle eye and his bat is so quick he can let the ball go deep into its traverse before he decides to swing. He's in his own league. Greatest hitter ever and his stats prove it.
The craziest part about this is that bonds was so good at this point that just knowing percival had to throw a strike was pretty much an automatic homerun for him. There’s almost no way bonds wasn’t going to hit a homerun in that at bat unless he was walked which wouldn’t have made sense. Probably the most helpless a pitcher has ever been while still being in control of the game
@@Definitelysomeone19 honestly, probably. he is arguably the best power hitter to ever play. The roids are a permanent stain, but I mean you still gotta hit the ball
@@Definitelysomeone19 probably one of the best hitters ever even without steroids. I mean he didn’t even have to be in tune with baseball to know a fastball in the strike zone was coming next. Point being he was such a good hitter that it’s pretty much impossible for him to not have hit a homerun in that situation.
@@MrToaster1123 big facts, the steroids may have helped him hit the ball a long way but roids don’t increase ur chances of seeing then hitting the ball
Imagine how many home runs Barry would have if he wasn’t being walked every game. He’s the only player in league history who had the advantage over the pitcher unbelievable
Sure. He saw the zone better than the umps. To get this guy out you had to throw STRIKES. Throw balls and he walked because they're atta the zone he's not gonna swing. So you had no choice take your chances and throw a strike and hopefully it will stay in the field of play.
@@BenWillyums Please remember that he never flunked a drug test... Nobody liked this guy least of all opposing pitchers. And writers. And announcers. And journalists. He didn't give interviews and he didn't give advice he treated baseball as a business not entertainment.
Legend says that ball went into orbit, made a full pass around the planet, re entered the stratosphere and hit the “Barry who?” guy in the back of the head
I wish Barry Bonds the very best of health and life, the rest of his life. Forecasting death on someone is the ultimate sin. Homegirl up above simply illustrates what's so fucked up with so many of you people in this country. Fucking hateful idiots. In the spirit of humanity, I wish Lyle Alzado could come back. There's just to much negative on this planet to comprehend. And that comment has 3 thumbs up. Disturbing to say the least.
i followed Bonds in college and all thru his MLB career. Bonds is still the best hitter Ive seen in a 4 to 5 year stretch juice or not. He didnt miss often and had the best eye at the plate Ive ever seen during that stretch as well. He also had a HOF career pre juice era.
Yeah, I loved watching him hit before the juice...he was still "fast" on the bases then too. Sad he and the other juicers may never get in the HOF because of their stupid actions.
My God Mark, so it doesn’t matter to you to compare Barry Bonds Home Run Records to Hank Aaron’s? Barry, a known steroid abuser and Hank Aaron, never used roids and is squeaky clean? OMG! How screwed up is our Society anyway?
@Drew Where’s the proof? That’s your question? OMG! Where have you been that you don’t know about the BALCO case in the San Francisco Bay Area and the Mitchell Report that provided evidence of PED’S being used by both Bonds and Roger Clemens! The evidence is incontrovertible, PERIOD! Federal Investigators went on record to say that there was DNA evidence against Clemens and that Bonds definitely used PED’S that we’re outlawed by Major League Baseball! Drew, in the future, do your “Due Diligence” on the subject before you ask a DUMB QUESTION!
@@Karlifornication They probably were! However, that doesn’t change the fact that Bonds, Clemens, Canseco, McGwire, and many other “Stars” cheated with steroids, knew it was cheating, and did it anyway! How you can look at their stats against “Clean” players is an absolute mystery to me! Everyone of these “Cheaters” should have a huge asterisk* next to their names in the record books, PERIOD!
This guy had the craziest sports stat I've ever heard of. In Sept. '01 he hit a homerun every 8 SWINGS! Fouls, swings and misses, pop outs, ground outs, singles, doubles and triples combined. An unrealistic video game character.
Great stat. I think my fav swing stat with Bonds is that he had half a season where he had more HR than swings and misses -- which shows that Bonds benefited even more from great vision than from steroids!
@@lenvm3344 a great video to check out is from Jon Bois on "what if Barry Bonds didn't use a bat". He calculated what his OPS would've been. Hilarious yet troubling. Lol
@@brentbanks9121 I have yet to see a good refutation video on Jon Bois's work. He said "please somebody prove me wrong, tell me I'm full of crap!" Even he didn't believe it.
Seen him in person. When he swang and missed, I could feel the vibration of the air go through my chest. Scary, how fast and hard he could swing a bat. I thought, if he ever made connection that ball would be toast. This proves it.
The hardest hit baseball that I witnessed live was a Barry Bonds line drive home run at Busch Stadium. It won't get points for distance because of the trajectory, but I had never seen a ball leave the yard that fast. I was left with the sense that I could hear the ball buzzing in the air. Amazing.
I can't understand their broadcast style: they catch Salmon reacting, they have the giant Homer. So what does Tim McCarver do? "That's not really the farthest ball hit. The farthest WE'VE seen was at Yankee Stadium in June." Then they show Salmon reacting again and Buck narrates it as: "You can see Salmon saying that." WTF? How best to ruin an epic World Series moment? Have those two idiots in a booth. Unless it's their pre-approved favorites, they downplay everything and take the cool out of every moment. Those two teams went back and forth and had a great world series. But these announcers made it sound boring. They didn't point out the interesting details. They just expected the Giants to win and then peaced out when it was clear the Angels could win.
Exactly! They absolutely killed this moment with their pathetic excuse for excitement. As announcers, one of your primary jobs is to relay the enthusiasm that the moment deserves. And that moment deserved alot more than what they gave it. I can't stand either of them.
I don’t think Joe Buck even likes baseball, he is so boring and negative as hell! The fact that he’s called every World Series game in recent history is a big reason why the new generation doesn’t like baseball. Fuck the broadcasters and fuck Robert manfred
It wasn't the farthest hit baseball ever, and it was a pointless home run. Yes the announcers are bad, but it wasn't a significant moment in baseball history. If someone was on base and it tied the game, then it's a different story.
A lot of guys did steroids. Only one hit 73 HR with a >.500 OBP. Bonds is what happens when you take a near-perfect baseball player and give him the best HGH and anabolics that science has to offer.
Ya, so the mega fan here of Bonds says he hit the longest home run of all time. I checked eight lists with some serious credentials (ESPN, Baseball Almanac, Baseballreference, etc). Not only did Bonds's homer not top any of them, it didn't even appear in ANY of their top 10, 15 or 20 lists. Not even in 20th place.
@Lighthouse in the Storm same way you know Bonds was. Point is, many guys in the league were roiding during that era, pitchers, position players etc. Not just Bonds McGwire and Sosa.
@@cyanmendoza1234 They don't call it the "steroid era" for nothing. It is well known that steroid use in the 90's was widespread. Guys like Canseco and Caminiti (who BTW won the mvp in '96 while juiced) both admitted that PED's were used widespread throughout the league. It's not like there were just a few players using them.
Legalize the juice. It's safe and the doctors well educated in the matter. It's a level playing field of the ban is lifted and the game is much more fun to see

Dylan, don't worry. Statcast would've taken steroids into account. It takes *everything* into account! Exit velocity, launch angle, hang time, dope time, injection angle, entrance velocity.
People either are too young to remember or just blinded by hate and didn't used to watch him... the guy was a absolute monster and we will never see anything like him again. People talk about trout like he was 1/3 the hitter barry was. It simply aint true. It was actually better to walk this guy in almost any situation... people walked him over and over because it wasn't even worth throwing the guy a pitch
Barry Bonds had two careers and both are Hall of Fame worthy! He deserves to be in the HoF!!! Top 3 if not the best of all time to lace them up. Might not like the guy or was a bad teammate...But, he was must watch TV everytime he took the field.
Crazy thing is if anyone gets on before Bonds, we never see that nuke off his bat cause there's no way in hell they pitch to him with as the tying run.
One of the players playing during that time (can't remember who but I was watching a documentary) said everyone was on steroids and if you weren't then you weren't a top player at that time. He was saying that all their bodies were worn out and tired and beat up so steroids was what made them stronger and able to keep playing. He was saying he hardly knew any players who weren't on steroids so it's makes me look at things a little differently. Whenever I look at past players bodies compared to now, current mlb players bodies are obviously less muscular and not as built. But if you look at the whole starting lineup from past teams, so many players look like they could be playing in the NFL back then. You hardly see that many pitchers who are as buff as pitchers back then too and I can't help but think it's because majority of players were on steroids back then. Not making excuses because I'm obviously against steroids but I just looks at things differently when I watch footage of past games.
There’s no question about that. It makes the steroid use so much worse in his case because he really didn’t need to do that to himself. He was already one of the greatest before he started ballooning up.
You have to consider Reggie Jackson's all-star home run in 1970, Josh Gibson (the only man to hit a ball clear out of Yankee Stadium, and finally Barry Bonds! 'Nuff said!

Joe Buck was that way for the first two Giants World Series wins. I loved that we knocked off his precious Cardinals. Third one he had to talk about them. Nothing like his Dad who was great.
I remember that home run vividly. Living in SF at the time, it used to kill me that they pitched around him so much. When they were forced to pitch to him, THAT is what happened.
@@kyleknott1097 he couldn't sound more unexcited. Bonds hit that ball harder and further than anyone in that stadium had ever seen and it sounded like a 'casual' homerun. Not to mention Bond putting the giants back within one score at the top of the 9th.
@@GoshMrJosh because with bonds that is legit a casual homerun theres no point in him jumping up and freaking out over a home run that didnt even matter
The sad thing about Bonds is, that he didn't have to juice. He was already a pretty darn good player and if his numbers held up, would of been a HOF no matter what. In his last season with the Pirates, he hit 34 HRs, 103 RBIs and 39 stolen bases. He's always had good discipline at the plate and was a Gold Glove LF. Then he got on the juice, packed on so much weight that he couldn't even steal bases anymore or cover the outfield as much. He turned into a one-dimensional player
Yea, agree, both him and Clemens had a ton of natural talent and now both will never get to the HOF and both would have been first-timer's had not the steroids been involved. Even worse those who came clean and admitted to it were treated as a person who made a bad decision but in the end were truthful about their mistake, (Andy Petite comes to mind)
Never said any better Skakester71. It's true, Bonds had such natural all-round skill in every offensive and defensive department prior to ped's. Had he stayed away from 'roids and such, he'd have eventually gotten all the acclaim and respect he hoped for when he decided to get juiced up those last years. He indeed never needed it.
J Phoenix He was 40-40 man in 1996. I don't know if he was juicing that year, but I think he was a better ballplayer than Canseco and A-Rod (the other guys who did it) being that he was a 2nd generation player and he's always drawn tons of intentional walks throughout his career.
Furthest ball ever hit was by Mickey Mantle, an estimated 510 feet. His muscles were all natural. Most home runs in a single season: Roger Maris with 61 Most home runs in a career: Hank Aaron with 755 It's sad that some fans would consider the records set during the 1995-2008 period as legitimate. That's like endorsing the idea that crime pays.
Steroids do nothing to enhance someone hitting the ball. Nothing will ever diminish the fact that putting bat on ball is the hardest thing to do in sports. It doesn't matter how strong you are. You still have to be able to hit the thing first.
Mark Schofield True about hand eye coordination. But bat speed (other than hand eye coordination) is the biggest part in hitting in general. Steroids DO in fact enhance your bat speed as well as any other psychical strength. Performance Enhancing Drugs are banned in Major League Baseball for a reason.
Mark Schofield Yes, you do have to make contact. But as Logan Mullins points out, bat speed (which allows you to have your bat in position to make said contact) is a big part of it, and a part of it that benefits from the use of PEDs. And the extra muscles also do one more important thing - they can be the difference between a hit ball being a home run and a very long, very loud fly ball that's caught on the warning track for an out.
Mark Schofield You obviously didn't play baseball. Do you watch the LLWS on ESPN where they talk about how a 70-MPH pitch at 46 feet is the equivalent of hitting an MLB plus fastball? Those kids have the coordination and the bat speed to hit better than 99.99% of the population. Why can't they hit the ball 450 feet? Because they're not strong enough. It takes coordination to hit a ball, yes. But, steroids can and do make the difference between the warning track and ten rows into the seats. If you think coordination is all it takes to hit home runs, then Wade Boggs and Tony Gwynn would have had 700 home runs each.
Josh gibson hit a 580 ft hr in yankee stadium, he played in the negro leagues for 16 years and people that witnessed what he was capable of felt he was a better power hitter then babe ruth or ted williams.

That's my biggest complaint about this. Football players who use steroids are nowhere near vilified as much as baseball players are. And it's rare to hear someone say that a football player "cheated" when they're caught using steroids. I've never understood that
my pops and I concluded he was hands down the best hitter either of us had ever seen in like 1990 (he grew up in the 50s and 60s). Bonds' bat speed was absolutely unreal, even when he was a skinny guy stealing 40+ bases.

I was at the old Mile High Stadium in Denver for a game with the Giants during Bond's steroid rampage. He hit a line drive that never went higher than about 12 feet that hit high off the wall in right about 360 if I remember. Larry Walker who was in right field for the Rockies raced back and played it perfectly off the fence as the sound reverberated throughout the ballpark. Walker's great arm had the ball back to the infield before Bonds could get any farther than first base. I'm not sure that the ball had even reached it's zenith before hitting the fence. A millimeter higher on the bat and they'd still be looking for that one. Bonds wasn't even out of the batter's box when it hit the fence sounding like a car wreck. Hardest ball I've ever seen hit.
Larry Walker never played at the old Mile High for the Rockies. He joined them when they move to Coors.
Dam those were the best times of baseball. America truly came together for about 5 years. That time from 97-02 was magical
Cool story!
"That's the furthest ball I've ever seen" That's insane to have that said by the opposing team!

But I didn't see it?
Thx Zoidberg looks like u are useful
I was at that game. Possibly the most awesome thing I ever witnessed in person at a sporting event. I doubt that ball has landed yet lol
same here second deck just up from first base, it's the loudest i've ever heard someone hit a baseball and it just hung up there for what seemed like forever. i never cared for bonds as a person but im really glad i got to see him in in his prime especially in a moment like this.
It’s orbiting Jupiter as we speak
Some kinda story to tell bro. I’m guessing it cleared leaving the stadium by a long shot?
I love how the announcer already knows it’s not the farthest homer that Barry ever hit lol. Don’t get me wrong that ball at Yankee stadium was unbelievable but I’ve watched this homer live at my house and in all replays I’ve never seen the balll land. You usually see movement in the stands when the ball is about to land but I see nothing. I don’t care what that announcer said find me a ball that went further and I’ll call you a liar. Griffey, A Rod, Ichiro, Trout all fantastic ball players but before or after steroids Barry Bonds was the greatest player in my lifetime and it’s not close!
wow very cool dude.
Thanks for keeping in the at bats leading up to Bonds. Builds the tension beautifully
Did it though? 2 run game, first two guys go down with bad at bats. Bonds at bat was all but meaningless to the situation.
It does. Barry was on such a level that all anyone could think about was "Don't give him a man on base."
Imagine Juiced up Bonds hitting the Juiced up balls that we have today
Yea... Imagine sitting on your porch in kansas n all of a sudden a ball comes out of nowhere like a missile n busts thru a window😂

Pause at 3:42. Dude had 3 walks on the day and one ab. He probably didnt even have to swing in the plate appearances where he walked. Then in the 9th after Percival Has sat down 2 hitters with ease the first strike Barry sees is hit to the moon. That's amazing
BONDS is the most amazing baseball player ever. It was a treat to watch him play.
Couldn’t pitch a strike to him or it was a homer. If you pitched a strike to Barry bonds that year it was a home run almost every time, no hyperbole
👆 these are the most on point comments of the thread.
His stats that series were insane. 30 plate appearances and he walked 13 times and hit 4 HRs and 2 doubles. Incredible.
@@evanwrenn402 How do you know he’s the greatest hitter of all time simple besides his fans when great coaches and players are asked “who do you think the greatest hitter in the history of the game was?” They generally all answer quick and with a smirk on their face “Barry Bonds, no question not even close, Bonds was the best hitter I’ve ever seen in my life” it’s sad that pitchers can do blow, guys can use all sorts of cheating ways going back to the beginning of baseball but somehow Bonds is so hated. He’s the best and outside of Griffey jr most beautiful swing to ever touch a baseball bat (also don’t forget all the gold gloves)

It never landed. It went to orbit The Sun.
I swear to god it hasn’t landed lol
The most feared hitter ever! This guy made a science out of it. Incredible hand/eye coordination with an eye that could see the zone better than the ump. I used to LOVE to watch this guy bat he was a MACHINE & it did not matter WHO was pitching. Like Greg Maddox stated... walk him do NOT challenge him. its only a matter of LUCK if you get this guy out because in order to do that you gotta throw STRIKES or he'll walk because he doesn't swing at balls. He rarely strikes out because of that eagle eye and his bat is so quick he can let the ball go deep into its traverse before he decides to swing. He's in his own league. Greatest hitter ever and his stats prove it.
In the angels dugout - “That’s the farthest ball I’ve ever seen.”
Joe Buck - “That’s not even his farthest home run.”
That was Tim McCarver who said it, not Buck.
McCarver doesn’t know shit. I was at this game. It was still going up when it landed
The craziest part about this is that bonds was so good at this point that just knowing percival had to throw a strike was pretty much an automatic homerun for him. There’s almost no way bonds wasn’t going to hit a homerun in that at bat unless he was walked which wouldn’t have made sense. Probably the most helpless a pitcher has ever been while still being in control of the game
you think bonds was that in-tune with the game of baseball?
@@Definitelysomeone19 honestly, probably. he is arguably the best power hitter to ever play. The roids are a permanent stain, but I mean you still gotta hit the ball
@Tony G Yeah he knew how to slow the game down patient hitter, Hank Aaron considers bonds the best ever, that says a lot.
@@Definitelysomeone19 probably one of the best hitters ever even without steroids. I mean he didn’t even have to be in tune with baseball to know a fastball in the strike zone was coming next. Point being he was such a good hitter that it’s pretty much impossible for him to not have hit a homerun in that situation.
@@MrToaster1123 big facts, the steroids may have helped him hit the ball a long way but roids don’t increase ur chances of seeing then hitting the ball

LOL good observation!
Imagine how many home runs Barry would have if he wasn’t being walked every game. He’s the only player in league history who had the advantage over the pitcher unbelievable
Imagine how many he would have hit if he wasn't cheating
Imagine all the home runs he would have had here in Pittsburgh if he started taking steroids then lol
Absolutely. NOBODY wanted to pitch this guy and I mean nobody. I don't miss anybody out there more than I miss Bonds.
Sure. He saw the zone better than the umps. To get this guy out you had to throw STRIKES. Throw balls and he walked because they're atta the zone he's not gonna swing. So you had no choice take your chances and throw a strike and hopefully it will stay in the field of play.
@@BenWillyums Please remember that he never flunked a drug test... Nobody liked this guy least of all opposing pitchers. And writers. And announcers. And journalists. He didn't give interviews and he didn't give advice he treated baseball as a business not entertainment.

Bonds is still the best hitter Ive seen in a 4 to 5 year stretch juice or not. He didnt miss often and had the best eye at the plate Ive ever seen during that stretch as well.
He also had a HOF career pre juice era.
Yeah, I loved watching him hit before the juice...he was still "fast" on the bases then too. Sad he and the other juicers may never get in the HOF because of their stupid actions.

Rumor has it the "Barry Who???" sign was never seen from again after that mammoth shot.
The hardest hit baseball that I witnessed live was a Barry Bonds line drive home run at Busch Stadium. It won't get points for distance because of the trajectory, but I had never seen a ball leave the yard that fast. I was left with the sense that I could hear the ball buzzing in the air. Amazing.
Just like that steroid induce dink Mark Macquire. hit to break Roger Marius 61 home run record . That hit is a great example of steroids .
I saw willie STARGELL HIT A BALL AT CANDLESTICK PARK THAT KNOCKED DOWN THE RIGHT FIELD SCORE BOARD.AND THEN WILLIE MAC DIDTHE SAME
Watching Bonds and Griffey Jr was good times. Favorite lefties at the plate. Now I gotta look for a Griffey Jr highlight 🤘
KG Jr had the most beautiful swing I've ever seen. Do you remember Will Clark? He was my favourite player and so underrated. Loved watching him play.
Jr was better than Bonds everyone knew it… even Bonds… that’s why he went on the juice…1999 all century team …jr was on it and Bonds wasn’t.
I can't understand their broadcast style: they catch Salmon reacting, they have the giant Homer. So what does Tim McCarver do? "That's not really the farthest ball hit. The farthest WE'VE seen was at Yankee Stadium in June."
Then they show Salmon reacting again and Buck narrates it as: "You can see Salmon saying that."
WTF?
How best to ruin an epic World Series moment? Have those two idiots in a booth. Unless it's their pre-approved favorites, they downplay everything and take the cool out of every moment. Those two teams went back and forth and had a great world series. But these announcers made it sound boring. They didn't point out the interesting details. They just expected the Giants to win and then peaced out when it was clear the Angels could win.
Exactly! They absolutely killed this moment with their pathetic excuse for excitement. As announcers, one of your primary jobs is to relay the enthusiasm that the moment deserves. And that moment deserved alot more than what they gave it. I can't stand either of them.
Just another reason that we should be thankful that Tim McCarver retired from the broadcast booth. I had almost forgotten how much of a Jackass he is.
You nailed it. Why are these guys comparing and explaining shit right away. Shut up, enjoy the moment, and get EXCITED like a real person.
I don’t think Joe Buck even likes baseball, he is so boring and negative as hell! The fact that he’s called every World Series game in recent history is a big reason why the new generation doesn’t like baseball. Fuck the broadcasters and fuck Robert manfred
It wasn't the farthest hit baseball ever, and it was a pointless home run. Yes the announcers are bad, but it wasn't a significant moment in baseball history. If someone was on base and it tied the game, then it's a different story.
Bonds was cold blooded. PEDs or not, he was elite level talent, HOF talent. All credit to the angels but the giants really blew this championship.

Steroids or not that's one of the greatest swings you will ever see!
on roids
One of the players playing during that time (can't remember who but I was watching a documentary) said everyone was on steroids and if you weren't then you weren't a top player at that time. He was saying that all their bodies were worn out and tired and beat up so steroids was what made them stronger and able to keep playing. He was saying he hardly knew any players who weren't on steroids so it's makes me look at things a little differently. Whenever I look at past players bodies compared to now, current mlb players bodies are obviously less muscular and not as built. But if you look at the whole starting lineup from past teams, so many players look like they could be playing in the NFL back then. You hardly see that many pitchers who are as buff as pitchers back then too and I can't help but think it's because majority of players were on steroids back then. Not making excuses because I'm obviously against steroids but I just looks at things differently when I watch footage of past games.
There’s no question about that. It makes the steroid use so much worse in his case because he really didn’t need to do that to himself. He was already one of the greatest before he started ballooning up.

@@arcticwanderer2109 Bullshit. Who hits their peak at 35 naturally? Also, the steroids/hgh enables older players to perform at a higher level into the later stages of their careers. In the old days most of the greats were in noticeable decline by their mid 30's. The steroids/ hgh had a big impact on him hitting his peak at 35. Stop kidding yourself. He doesn't deserve to be in the HOF although I think he might get in on a last chance sympathy vote.
@@almcnutt5934 yeah...30 hr 50 sb seasons are pretty easy to achieve...guys a scrub
"The thing about Bonds is, when you do that, he does."
poetry
Swing is fucking beautiful
for you unpatient folks, the hit is at 4:07
+Cameron Mcdonald First of all, it's IMPATIENT, not unpatient. Second of all, I wouldn't call it impatient when someone wants to see about 10 seconds of video and the video is over 5minutes. It's like going to a fast food place and waiting 40min for your food. There's a point where the word "patience" leaves the situation. And third of all, Thank you... i would have hated waiting over 4min just to watch 5seconds of what I wanted to see.

thank u
thx
Bonds was a joy to watch. As a new fan of Baseball at around 2003. It was really something to see him getting intentionally walked constantly.
That was the most anticlimactic announcer i've ever heard. The dam thing went like 600 feet! Joe Buck sucks
WestCoastFishing agreed
WestCoastFishing I'm a cubs fan
Justin Henry me too we heard this year 2016 ws
WestCoastFishing Joe Suck
Joe Buck was that way for the first two Giants World Series wins. I loved that we knocked off his precious Cardinals. Third one he had to talk about them.
Nothing like his Dad who was great.
I remember Barry either being intentionally walked or smashing homeruns. It felt like he never missed when he got a pitch to swing at
I remember that home run vividly. Living in SF at the time, it used to kill me that they pitched around him so much. When they were forced to pitch to him, THAT is what happened.
I from the other part of the country and it used to PISS me off.
steroids are just incredible
@@Simon-talks Yep, that's why over half of the MLB is/was on them.
@@GooseRULES So true but it doesn't make it right. Can you imagine if Hammering Hank used them.
And Joe Buck just ruined another sports moment.
Joe buck is a moron
How?
@@kyleknott1097 he couldn't sound more unexcited. Bonds hit that ball harder and further than anyone in that stadium had ever seen and it sounded like a 'casual' homerun. Not to mention Bond putting the giants back within one score at the top of the 9th.
@@GoshMrJosh because with bonds that is legit a casual homerun theres no point in him jumping up and freaking out over a home run that didnt even matter
No he didn’t
Tim Salmon, Mike Trout, whos next? Bob Pike? lol this joke sucks sorry
vanitystr Catfish Hunter
Obviously Billy Bass is next.
Sid bream
Kevin Bass
😂😂
The sad thing about Bonds is, that he didn't have to juice. He was already a pretty darn good player and if his numbers held up, would of been a HOF no matter what. In his last season with the Pirates, he hit 34 HRs, 103 RBIs and 39 stolen bases. He's always had good discipline at the plate and was a Gold Glove LF. Then he got on the juice, packed on so much weight that he couldn't even steal bases anymore or cover the outfield as much. He turned into a one-dimensional player
he could still steal. he had a 50-50 year once
J Phoenix that's not true. He only hit 50 hr's once and also had 50 steals once but those were in separate years ('01 and '90 respectively)
Yea, agree, both him and Clemens had a ton of natural talent and now both will never get to the HOF and both would have been first-timer's had not the steroids been involved. Even worse those who came clean and admitted to it were treated as a person who made a bad decision but in the end were truthful about their mistake, (Andy Petite comes to mind)
Never said any better Skakester71. It's true, Bonds had such natural all-round skill in every offensive and defensive department prior to ped's. Had he stayed away from 'roids and such, he'd have eventually gotten all the acclaim and respect he hoped for when he decided to get juiced up those last years. He indeed never needed it.
J Phoenix He was 40-40 man in 1996. I don't know if he was juicing that year, but I think he was a better ballplayer than Canseco and A-Rod (the other guys who did it) being that he was a 2nd generation player and he's always drawn tons of intentional walks throughout his career.
The most dominated athlete I’ve ever seen...steroids can’t enhance hand-eye coordination
KingJaymo2k11 thank you 🙏 tell these bitches again
That’s not the point 😂
Forreal
but he cheated right?
The most dominant athlete you have ever seen on steroids*
Furthest ball ever hit was by Mickey Mantle, an estimated 510 feet. His muscles were all natural. Most home runs in a single season: Roger Maris with 61
Most home runs in a career: Hank Aaron with 755
It's sad that some fans would consider the records set during the 1995-2008 period as legitimate. That's like endorsing the idea that crime pays.
Steroids do nothing to enhance someone hitting the ball. Nothing will ever diminish the fact that putting bat on ball is the hardest thing to do in sports. It doesn't matter how strong you are. You still have to be able to hit the thing first.
Mark Schofield
True about hand eye coordination. But bat speed (other than hand eye coordination) is the biggest part in hitting in general. Steroids DO in fact enhance your bat speed as well as any other psychical strength. Performance Enhancing Drugs are banned in Major League Baseball for a reason.
Mark Schofield
Yes, you do have to make contact. But as Logan Mullins points out, bat speed (which allows you to have your bat in position to make said contact) is a big part of it, and a part of it that benefits from the use of PEDs. And the extra muscles also do one more important thing - they can be the difference between a hit ball being a home run and a very long, very loud fly ball that's caught on the warning track for an out.
Mark Schofield You obviously didn't play baseball. Do you watch the LLWS on ESPN where they talk about how a 70-MPH pitch at 46 feet is the equivalent of hitting an MLB plus fastball? Those kids have the coordination and the bat speed to hit better than 99.99% of the population. Why can't they hit the ball 450 feet? Because they're not strong enough. It takes coordination to hit a ball, yes. But, steroids can and do make the difference between the warning track and ten rows into the seats. If you think coordination is all it takes to hit home runs, then Wade Boggs and Tony Gwynn would have had 700 home runs each.
Josh gibson hit a 580 ft hr in yankee stadium, he played in the negro leagues for 16 years and people that witnessed what he was capable of felt he was a better power hitter then babe ruth or ted williams.
Had a lot of "juice" behind it too.
Hank is STILL the all time homerun King.
Legend has it that ball is still orbiting Uranus.
