Alright everyone. After about a year, I'll admit that I didn't expect this video of an event that happened almost 17 years ago to still get this many hits, even as other videos that were uploaded when it happened didn't get this much attention. I'm just glad I managed to capture when MASN replayed this game a few offseasons ago because waiting at the mercy of whatever Nationals Classics games were chosen to air was the only possibility of being able to see and capture this (obviously after it happened live). Either way I thank you for stopping by. That said... Look. I get that Bonds was a very controversial figure in sports, and the legitimacy of this record has been compromised in the eyes of many. But from this point forward, if all you have to add to the discussion is "steroids," "cheater," asterisks, syringe emojis, or similar vapid remarks, I'm not approving your comment. You're not the first or the only person to say what you're thinking about posting. I'm just tired of getting notifications of everyone saying the same thing but thinking that they're offering some original thought. Do better.
I did a little digging and it turns out Baslick's father did face Aaron the season he hit no. 755. Though, Aaron wasn't sitting at 755 when Baslik faced him, rather, he faced him when he was sitting at 753, eleven days before Aaron hit no. 755.
I was the MLB Authenticator that worked with Barry Bonds. I authenticated 756 and a few more after. Trick was a invisible blue die I applied to four spots on the red thread holding the ball together. The serial number I stamped on the ball was a distraction. You needed a black light pen to verify it. I did and I felt pretty dam special to be able to do that. We authenticated everything Barry wore, the umpires wore and everything the Giants wanted. Bases, home plate, pitcher's mound - you name it - I authenticated it that night. Very blessed to have done that.
I once got to tell mr bonds he was greatest ballplayer ive ever seen and ive seen a few. He showed some appreciation for the comment by smiling at me. Then knocking 1 out of chase field in phx
I saw Barry hit one out in Dodger Stadium. I'll never forget the power of his swing and his follow through. The ball hit the stands like a bullet, a line drive. You knew instantly it was a HR as soon as you heard the crack of the bat.
Brady was never accused and was never part of any accusations. He was never part of the Mitchell report or any other. He just had a career year and was on a stacked orioles team and benefited from pitchers throwing him a lot of fastballs.
An interesting fact: Between Bonds and Aaron, they combined to only have 1 season with 50+ home runs (Bonds' 73 in 2001...). Aaron's career high was 47 and Bonds' next best season was 49. They both accumulated their massive totals through longevity and consistency (and in Bonds' case, some supplemental help). And another little fact: Bonds' gap of 24 home runs between his best season and 2nd best season (73, 49) is not even the largest gap in baseball history for a player... it's 3rd. Both Brady Anderson (50, 24) and Luis Gonzalez (57, 31) have a 26 home run gap between their best season and 2nd best season.
@gatroy13 - He did use amphetamines (greenies), though... which are now banned in today's game because they produce unnatural levels of energy, alertness, focus, and reaction time.
Hank Aaron, Willie Mayes, Barry Bonds. Wow! I witnessed history. I remember that evening. I'm in Arizona. A DBacks fan. They cut that game just to show that Barry Bonds did it. My respect in this game I love.
There's one record that Barry bonds will hold forever... The record of intentional walks in a season. I think he got intentionally walked like a hundred times or something back in 2004. His on-base percentage was like something out of a comic book.
Analytics+the universal dh have phased intentional walks almost entirely out of the game. Judge last year arguably had one of the 5 greatest offensive seasons in the history of baseball and only got intentionally walked 19 times. That’s not even 10% of the total number of times bonds got intentionally walked in 04.
@@TheShachattack13 Barry bonds is probably the only guy to get intentionally walked with the bases loaded. The opposing team's and managers just feared him that much. The only player that I ever saw get that kind of treatment was Josh Hamilton. Hamilton, in the 2010 ALCS, was intentionally walked I think , about eight times in six games. However, Josh Hamilton was coming off a season where he hid over 30 home runs, drove in 100, and had a batting average of 360. The New York Yankees were very determined to that he was not going to be the guy who beat them.
Still can't believe I was there to see it live. Absolutely insane seeing all of the cameras go off. One of the best days ever. After his first 2 ABs, you knew it was coming. His AB before, he hit one off the center field wall on almost a line drive. I couldn't count how many Bonds HRs I saw in person growing up.
There will never be another moment like this in baseball. Never! I was a kid and I remember sitting on my coach every night with my uncle and papaw watching to see if he does it. Man. What a time!
Man the times where no one was on their phones just straight up digital cameras! What a beautiful moment. I wish I was there at that game. The crowd went crazy.
Bonds led the NL and MLB in HRs in a season twice: in 1993 when he hit 46 and in 2001 when he hit 73. That's it. If you take out the 2001 season, an anomaly, he averaged 39 HRs for every 162 games played, just a bit higher than Aaron's 37 HR per 162 game average.
@@anthony4308 It's common practice when looking at statistics to exclude an outlier. My point was that Bonds was consistently good over a long period of time and that his career HR total was the result of that long-term consistency, not just the product of a few gaudy seasons.
@@anthony4308 It wasn't five home runs over a 162 game season. It was five home runs over 14 games. I compared his and Aaron's numbers over a 162 game average. That's how statistical analysis works. I am sorry if you don't understand it.
@@nickcurran3105 But outliers are not taken out on a whim, either. There are statistical methods (such as the 1.5 IQR rule) to determine whether a data point can be considered an outlier. There are also other qualitative factors to consider before removing outliers.
I watched this happen live in a Circuit City in Bellingham, WA. It was on every TV being sold in the store. It wasn't that crowded, but I remember every guy in that area of the store stopping what they were doing to watch when he sent that ball flying.
I remember I was watching something else and then I thought about Barry Bonds breaking Hank Aaron's record. Once I turned it to the station he hit the homerun.
What's great about this is that the pitcher also pitched really well. He was down 2-0 on pitches many batters would have chased and gave him some good ones the fouled off on a full count. Barry was just determined to get a hit that at bat.
NO he does not. No one deserves anything. The pitchers who threw against him deserved to play against drug free batters. GFY. If people are deserving of things then... PETE ROSE deserves to be in the HOF.

A cheat is a cheat, liked him in his early days, but then lost all respect for him later. He should never ever be in the hall of fame. Hall of shame maybe
for all you people arguing roids, think about all the pitchers he hit HR's off of that were using roids themselves, i.e., Kevin Brown, Gagne, etc. . . .
Bill James Analyzed Some New Sabermetrics And Algorithms ANd Came To The Conclusion That Bonds Career Home Runs Should Be Reduced By 37% Because Of Taking Roids So In My History Class We Teach That Bonds Only Hit 480 Official Home Runs, If Democrats Can Make Up Things That Go Against Science And Claim There Are 762 Genders, Then I Can Do The Same, But At Least This Is Backed Up By Bill James Analysis And Advanced Statistics..
If Babe Ruth had as many at bats as Hank Aaron and all of his career during the live ball Era, he would have had over 900 home runs. Possibly over 1000
Babe Ruth the GOAT. Would be over 900 if the first 6 years he wasn't a pitcher. Barry was truly an amazing hitter, but many HR's would have been flyouts without the juice.
Bud, Juice doesnt make you hit a baseball... Bonds was hitting 40-50 HR's long before he took Juice, and was already one of the best Baseball players before he got big...
You are correct. He still needs to hit the ball. Bonds was an amazing talent. You must ask yourself how many HR's would have been flyouts if he didn't use the juice?
I used to be stupid enough to believe this too . Bonds is the greatest hitter history. If you look at what might have been , Griffy would have broke the record too without injuries
@@sennaha you must also ask yourself, how many more years would he have played without packing on all that muscle and extra weight and ruining his legs and back? Pointless to ask these questions... Bonds was facing juice pitchers all day... A large portion of the league was on juice back then... Just a fact.. Bonds would have broken the record either way.. He was just that good.
The best baseball player. EVER. Even before the roids Barry was a multiple MVP its a shame the hes not in the HOF. Top 3 players to not make the HOF: Barry Schilling Rose
Pete rose broke the cardinal sin to baseball players. Him being banned is definitely worthy, joe jackson, bonds, clemens should be in the hof. The same writers who wouldn't vote bonds and clemens into the hof were the same writers voting them for MVP and cy young
@@chickenfkeryay rose should be in the HOF period , gambling is not murder , today gambling in sports is par for the course so times have changed so he should be in it by now I can’t watch a game without a FanDuel commercial u think players aren’t betting ? Your naive
I've seen the stats and watched the grainy black and white footage or washed-out color videos of Mays, Aaron, Ruth and all the greats but Bonds was the best ballplayer I've seen with my own eyes, either tv or in person many times. Top 10 of all time by any metric and he'd have been as good in the 1940's as he was in the 90's and would be in the 2100's. He could do it all. The ultimate 5 tool player. If he was a bit friendlier with the media, he'd probably be viewed much differently.
Greatest player of all time. With or without roids. Im so sick of the "cheater" allogations. That was the Era. Everyone was doing it. Mlb did nothing about it. They knew about it. They put profits first. So how can you blame someone when the MLB allowed it. Yall tuned in, watched, and went to games, like everyone else. You knew about roids back then and still chose to tune in. So don't act like it's tainted or a problem now. No player before or since will have the impact he had. He must see TV in a sport that was near the bottom in the big 4 sports. Programs cut into see his at bats. You will never see that again. You watched. You enjoyed it. Give this man his Due.
@@davissae almost ever pro athlete is arrogant. And maybe he had an attitude because he saw and grew up with the racism that his dad Bobby, willie, and cousin Reggie jackson experienced. So that made him bitter and not trusting of the media
Obviously no one’s doubting he’s a great player. But he doesn’t deserve to be atop of history. So no, I will not give him his due. He cheated (my boy Jeter didn’t), so he deserves all the hate the same way everyone else that cheated deserves it. The MLB had coward management in that era, but that doesn’t excuse cheating. Griffey, Big Hurt, and many other players did it the right way. Your SF didn’t, just own that. No one takes his records seriously. Judge is the HR leader, no asterisk. No questions.
Really just a surreal moment in time for baseball. All these years later and no one gives a shit about Bonds, McGwire, Sosa. It's both a black stain and a crying shame. Bonds and McGwire both were obviously HOF material early in their careers and it turned into asterisks and question marks. Sosa was a forgettable, mid player who was in the right place at the right time, I don't think many are lamenting his slide into obscurity. But it's a bit sad to see a guy like Bonds, who may have had 600+ HR's and a ton of SB's, a guaranteed, sure-fire hall of famer - in limbo after breaking the record for the most career HR's. It's crazy. If he had never juiced and never broken the record, he probably would be one of the most revered players ever, but because he literally overachieved it's a tarnished legacy.
HELL NO. Put him in the Hall of Shame. Totally classless person, and a total cheater. He will NEVER get into the HOF, unless he walks through it as a guest. Thank GOD the voters, never allowed this SOB anywhere near the Hall of Fame. Pete Rose deserves it 100 times more.
Bob Carpenter is the GOAT! He and the late Don Sutton on the call here. Carp was only in his second season calling Nationals game at this time and has called every single Nationals except their inaugural year. I'll never forget this game. As a die hard nationals fan, the only thing I cared about was that the nationals won this game when all was said and done and I remember Carp saying "The Giants got their history but the Nationals get the win here tonight". Seems like it was just yesterday but realisitcally it was nearly a life time ago...
Recuerdo lo bello que era ver jugar a barry bonds , mi padre siempre decia cuando le tocaba el turno al bat a barry , la va volar y saaas la sacaba del estadio
I went on that 20 year hiatus too… hope MLB doesn’t mess it up again…. And nope, I’d rather see all those home runs all over again and wish nothing different - it’s just that MLB (and congress) made baseball look like something us 12 year olds at the time should never get into …

I always enjoyed watching Bonds tanking one into MCovey cove and the fans in the boats in the cove fishing out the HR ball.
Back when pitchers could make it to the MLB throwing 84 mph 😭
Guess with movement anyone can still make it

@baseballbatbros do you dudes just not give a fuck about baseball outside of home runs and little league bats ? smh
Excellent Day!!! R.I.P. Willie!!!
Idc what he did outside of baseball…BONDS was a BEAST
@yayarearaidernation4512 it took steroids to do it.
I was taking a dump at a Buffalo Wild Wings when this happened.
Steroids for mlb players is like what chewing gum was to kids in the 80's.
Exactly!!! Congress made too big a deal and killed it for all the rising youth of the time …
🙄
And i think Barry Bonds lost his BBC status from using that crap too lol
GOOD
Yes we all love him my dad like him too
for all you people arguing roids, think about all the pitchers he hit HR's off of that were using roids themselves, i.e., Kevin Brown, Gagne, etc. . . .
…and?
@@stevemc75 . . .and level playing field
Bill James Analyzed Some New Sabermetrics And Algorithms ANd Came To The Conclusion That Bonds Career Home Runs Should Be Reduced By 37% Because Of Taking Roids So In My History Class We Teach That Bonds Only Hit 480 Official Home Runs, If Democrats Can Make Up Things That Go Against Science And Claim There Are 762 Genders, Then I Can Do The Same, But At Least This Is Backed Up By Bill James Analysis And Advanced Statistics..
Doesn’t matter…his career is still tarnished because of it.
He hit 300 home runs after turning 35. Lmfao. Bonds is a fraud and cheater.
I didn’t find this video. IT FOUND ME.
Do you have the full game?
Yes, I do.
Look at his rookie card and him here. His head even grew
love the nats broadcast
S#it was WEAK! One of the most garbage calls of an event/record/milestone in baseball...........ever.
Bonds is the greatest mlb player of all-time period!
If Babe Ruth had as many at bats as Hank Aaron and all of his career during the live ball Era, he would have had over 900 home runs. Possibly over 1000
He also spent the first four years of his career as a full time pitcher.
But he didn't. Get over it.
Bond should be a hitting coach, he has a lot of knowledge of the game
Needed juice to do it! Hank is the real champ!
Babe Ruth the GOAT. Would be over 900 if the first 6 years he wasn't a pitcher. Barry was truly an amazing hitter, but many HR's would have been flyouts without the juice.
Bud, Juice doesnt make you hit a baseball... Bonds was hitting 40-50 HR's long before he took Juice, and was already one of the best Baseball players before he got big...
You are correct. He still needs to hit the ball. Bonds was an amazing talent. You must ask yourself how many HR's would have been flyouts if he didn't use the juice?
I used to be stupid enough to believe this too . Bonds is the greatest hitter history. If you look at what might have been , Griffy would have broke the record too without injuries
@@sennaha you must also ask yourself, how many more years would he have played without packing on all that muscle and extra weight and ruining his legs and back? Pointless to ask these questions... Bonds was facing juice pitchers all day... A large portion of the league was on juice back then... Just a fact.. Bonds would have broken the record either way.. He was just that good.
GREATEST MLB player ever...Barry Bonds
The best baseball player. EVER. Even before the roids Barry was a multiple MVP its a shame the hes not in the HOF.
Top 3 players to not make the HOF:
Barry
Schilling
Rose
bah - Joseph Jefferson Jackson - is, after Bonds, the greatest player not in the HoF. That's Shoeless Joe if ya don't know.
Pete rose broke the cardinal sin to baseball players. Him being banned is definitely worthy, joe jackson, bonds, clemens should be in the hof.
The same writers who wouldn't vote bonds and clemens into the hof were the same writers voting them for MVP and cy young
@@chickenfkeryay rose should be in the HOF period , gambling is not murder , today gambling in sports is par for the course so times have changed so he should be in it by now I can’t watch a game without a FanDuel commercial u think players aren’t betting ? Your naive
@@chickenfkeryay what?!? Jackson THREW THE WORLD SERIES if that isnt the worst you can do then he'll ALL of em should be in🤷
I agree. Can't believe Rose isn't in there what a great player he was.
Barry bonds seriod king. So much for baseball
We just gonna ignore McGwire, Sosa, ARod, Canseco, etc.?
I've seen the stats and watched the grainy black and white footage or washed-out color videos of Mays, Aaron, Ruth and all the greats but Bonds was the best ballplayer I've seen with my own eyes, either tv or in person many times. Top 10 of all time by any metric and he'd have been as good in the 1940's as he was in the 90's and would be in the 2100's. He could do it all. The ultimate 5 tool player. If he was a bit friendlier with the media, he'd probably be viewed much differently.
One of the Nats biggest moments
Props to the Nats Catcher at the time for applauding Bonds
Should be in the hall for fame
Him and Pete Rose should have their own Hall of Fame.
Special Hall of fame for cheats.
Hate how it all ended for him. Breaks the record and retires in obscurity.
Hank Aaron did it without steroids
2:46 Hes thinking "sh!t now im history"
I was at this game. Let me tell you. There were way more than 43,000 people at that stadium.
I still listen to mike basik on 105.3 the fan in Dallas all the time lmao home of the 2023 Texas rangers world champions radio
Hammerin Hank still the leader, no steroids. I watched Hank do it while Milo Hamilton called it. My opinion Aaron is still the leader!
💯
Hammerin Hank 🙏
yup hammerin hank hopped up on meth🙏🙏🙏
Please enlighten us with all the instances when, to support your opinion, Bonds tested positive for steroids. We’ll wait…….
You got that right the Hammer still the Home Run Leader.
I love the pitcher's reaction. Nobody remembers who you are lol
Greatest player of all time. With or without roids. Im so sick of the "cheater" allogations. That was the Era. Everyone was doing it. Mlb did nothing about it. They knew about it. They put profits first. So how can you blame someone when the MLB allowed it. Yall tuned in, watched, and went to games, like everyone else. You knew about roids back then and still chose to tune in. So don't act like it's tainted or a problem now. No player before or since will have the impact he had. He must see TV in a sport that was near the bottom in the big 4 sports. Programs cut into see his at bats. You will never see that again. You watched. You enjoyed it. Give this man his Due.
No. He was arrogant about it. And had not a single friend. #asterisk
@@davissae almost ever pro athlete is arrogant. And maybe he had an attitude because he saw and grew up with the racism that his dad Bobby, willie, and cousin Reggie jackson experienced. So that made him bitter and not trusting of the media
Obviously no one’s doubting he’s a great player. But he doesn’t deserve to be atop of history. So no, I will not give him his due. He cheated (my boy Jeter didn’t), so he deserves all the hate the same way everyone else that cheated deserves it. The MLB had coward management in that era, but that doesn’t excuse cheating. Griffey, Big Hurt, and many other players did it the right way. Your SF didn’t, just own that. No one takes his records seriously.
Judge is the HR leader, no asterisk. No questions.
They're not allegations if everyone knows you did it
not everyone in the steroid era did steroids - incorrect assumption
Remember when you used to see camera flashes in the stands 🥲
Yet the Nationals still won the game.
Did they?
Really just a surreal moment in time for baseball. All these years later and no one gives a shit about Bonds, McGwire, Sosa. It's both a black stain and a crying shame. Bonds and McGwire both were obviously HOF material early in their careers and it turned into asterisks and question marks. Sosa was a forgettable, mid player who was in the right place at the right time, I don't think many are lamenting his slide into obscurity. But it's a bit sad to see a guy like Bonds, who may have had 600+ HR's and a ton of SB's, a guaranteed, sure-fire hall of famer - in limbo after breaking the record for the most career HR's. It's crazy. If he had never juiced and never broken the record, he probably would be one of the most revered players ever, but because he literally overachieved it's a tarnished legacy.
Put this man in the HOF!
HELL NO. Put him in the Hall of Shame. Totally classless person, and a total cheater. He will NEVER get into the HOF, unless he walks through it as a guest. Thank GOD the voters, never allowed this SOB anywhere near the Hall of Fame. Pete Rose deserves it 100 times more.
nope
Bob Carpenter is the GOAT! He and the late Don Sutton on the call here. Carp was only in his second season calling Nationals game at this time and has called every single Nationals except their inaugural year. I'll never forget this game. As a die hard nationals fan, the only thing I cared about was that the nationals won this game when all was said and done and I remember Carp saying "The Giants got their history but the Nationals get the win here tonight". Seems like it was just yesterday but realisitcally it was nearly a life time ago...
He had a chance to be the best without cheating. Now we’ll never know.
The dope had no faith in his own natural ability… now he’s just an asterisk. And to make matters worse he got very arrogant through it all
Recuerdo lo bello que era ver jugar a barry bonds , mi padre siempre decia cuando le tocaba el turno al bat a barry , la va volar y saaas la sacaba del estadio
When Bond retired, I stopped watching baseball. Now I'm back following Ohtani.
I went on that 20 year hiatus too… hope MLB doesn’t mess it up again…. And nope, I’d rather see all those home runs all over again and wish nothing different - it’s just that MLB (and congress) made baseball look like something us 12 year olds at the time should never get into …
@@ricardomondragon7320 20 year?
That’s stupid
Imagine if this happened today.. everyone would be on their phones instead of enjoying the moment
Still amazing !!! Barry was something special to watch !
