My son was right behind the White Sox visitors dugout where they come out to the batters box when they were in St. Pete playing the Rays. AJ was just looking around at the crowd with a smug look on his face. For some reason my son tells AJ his mom isn't coming to the game. He said AJ looked like he was going to hit him with his bat.

⁠@@chickenfkeryayI wouldn’t call him a douche but he was on the club level for a fan event thing and was taking a few selfies with some people. I swooped in and asked for a quick selfie, while he agreed and gave a good smile, he definitely gave a little attitude and rolled his eyes a bit. My 10 second impression, for what that’s worth, is that he will smile for a camera but doesn’t like taking the time to humor fans. Please take my impression with a grain of salt.

Being able to slow time down and have hyper reflexes that give you a way better shot to make contact? Or hitting a ball harder? The object is to hit the ball, juice doesn’t help your hand eye coordination. Bonds had better hand eye than hank without amphetamines.

[@roberthuber7031]

Ted Williams, Tony Gwynn, and Barry Bonds were probably the three greatest hitters to ever play the game and I had the privilege to watch two of them throughout their magnificent careers. Barry Bonds was undoubtedly a Hall of Fame player prior to ever taking a single steroid, but his legacy will now forever be tainted in my eyes. Sure it gave him a couple of more years and the home run records, but was it worth it? Only Barry could truly answer that question and I am not sure if he even knows himself.

As good as Bonds was, he could have been even better. I've always thought that.

[@kenw2225]

That's what everyone who hates on him doesn't get. He was so much better it'd not quantifiable. 04 bonds, even without any juice(speculation that he even was juicing), would crush any pitcher in mlb history. Only Nolan Ryan and Pedro even have a shot to come out ahead. They feared his eye at the plate , pitch selection, and ability to make contact. His power was secondary to all of those things

[@kenw2225]

Nah, he just needed steroids to get paid like the other guys did. He was a top 20 hitter before them. The best ever with them. And a force at the plate that no one will ever replicate or even come close to matching. How do you cope with his walk to ko ratio? Even if we exclude half the intentional walks?

[@kenw2225]

While I think bonds is better, the pitching wasn't that much better for Barry. Also , Barry was allowed to wear body armor like he was a juggernaut in call of duty. In the 60s and 70s he'd have been blasted back into the dugout trying to crowd the plate the way he did . He wouldn't have been able to hug the plate and therefore wouldn't have had as much success at the plate. There's no arguing that either. That said, I still find him to be the best hitter of all time. Ted Williams and baby Ruth are only other candidates in my opinion. Everyone plays within their own Era and they can't be compared fairly. So based on dominance , those 3 are the clear cut best hitters of all time. I don't think Aaron makes the convo. Mays gehrig, and a few others rank as better hitters than Aaron for me. But he's still an elite hitter and no less than 10th best batter of all time. None of the top 25 hitters in mlb history should be diminished or slighted. They were all elite and no doubt hall of gamers.

[@imoorzy]

@@JayfrompasadenaBonds wasn’t very well liked in Pittsburgh (at least in the first few years of his career), so he never really developed a “for the fans” mentality sadly.

[@cheyenne11114]

​@@daltonred7774the best ever swing a bat my ass. He was a cheater. Without the steroids he wouldn't have been the best hitter of all time so that's the end of the conversation.

[@necroreefer]

How can he has so much respect for bonds when bonds has zero respect for him.

[@jeffersontugboat8115]

They're bad managers... proceeds to tell a story that tells you Bonds was a selfish teammate.

[@jfieldsyt]

Why would a LF/DH decide if a catcher is playing?

[@chickenfkeryay]

There was no DH in AJs days

[@sergiovalentin2569]

"Bad manager" then proceeds to provide example of bad teammate. What?

[@johnlamberti4424]

Barry had a big head to begin with, then the roids blew it up like a basketball, to bad he messed with the roids. He would of been in the HOF. His HR records of 73 in one season and 762 lifetime will always be tainted . In my eyes aaron is alltime HR leader and judje is single season HR leader.

[@Shireal360]

Well You got World Series Rings 💍 and Barry got Zero... 0⃣ Case Closed 🔐

[@michaelsapoznik5984]

"Best hitter of all time, no one's even close." Ted Williams, Stan Musial, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Pete Rose, Lou Gehrig, George Brett, etc. None of them are even close. And you choose a cheater too? What a joke of a statement.

[@patricklemire9278]

How is it bad managers when it’s Barry showing up late

[@555fourthstreet8]

Showed up late? What games did he miss from being late?

[@DoomSlayer-6660]

Tony Gwynn was a much better hitter fyi

[@bullitt65]

Barry Bonds was the best hitter in the MLB ever. He is the only guy Managers wouldn't throw to, and feared by every pitcher. Look up Maddux look up Gagne or any pitcher that faced him. He could change the game with one swing. Rose and Gwynn were greats, but did not strike fear they way Bonds did. The eye hand coordination, and to know the strike zone so well, is unmatched. Best of all time.

[@juffurey]

second all time in walks is not even close to Bonds

[@keysersoze9592]

Video game numbers. A .609 obp one year. A team intentionally walked him with the bases loaded. Hard to fathom getting on base 60% of the time.

[@losjovel9271]

Steroids, it’s a hella’va drug

[@thereisnosuchthingasanativ904]

When asked about his bases loaded World Series walk: sho Walter said: “I’d do it again” lmao One run is better than 4

[@user-ye8oe8rt7r]

As a Giants fan. Bonds is not the greatest hitter. He was taking PEDs, he was not natural, thats cheating imo.

[@mikeymike25]

Well Tony Gwynn but I say Barry is the goat

[@PoppinWheeliez]

Gilstrap played baseball?

[@skinnymb82508]

Barry Bonds isn’t even close to best hitter ever. He was juiced up and shouldn’t ever be in the Hall of Fame or record books, Period!

[@kenw2225]

When bonds allegedly started juicing, he starting hitting less ground balls , and increase his fly ball rate. Steroids don't turn ground balls into fly balls, let alone homeruns. Unless you don't know physics, then keep your weak opinion on this matter. I've posted other comments regarding the other changes he made around that time at the plate , on this video. But you'll see steroids did little to affect his numbers. Lower k rate. Go ahead and try to argue your weak media talking points

[@michaelplowman8674]

I will at AJ with a guy named Ted Williams as greatest hitter ever.

[@fartkicker]

against pitchers that threw 80MPH

[@Paul-uo1vw]

@@fartkicker vs Roided pitchers like Roger Clemens? Roided pitchers vs roided hitters, OR non roided pitchers- who pitched more innings vs the likes of Williams.

[@capnrex7567]

It's always the sub-par wannabee great baseball players who think Bonds is the best hitter ever. My guess is he used steroids too but he still wasn't that good so Bonds is like his hero cuz it made him alot better

[@kenw2225]

It's always the people who think bonds hitting hr is all due to steroids. Bonds elevated his fly ball rate around 2000 , and also lowered his ground ball rate. Significantly in both categories. Do you not believe in physics? Ground balls don't turn into fly balls , and certainly not homeruns from steroids. His change in hitting style and philosophy coincides with his alleged steroid use . But the truth is , without steroids, the only difference in his career numbers is he has more doubles and less homeruns. And even that is just purist wishful hopium. Almost all of his hrs after 2000 were hrs for anyone with such good contact swinging the bat, except ichiro

[@mattnoah8309]

Those of us that were at the games know that Babe Ruth was the best hitter of time sonnys

[@Shoestring20]

As a manager,I don't care how good you are. You come that late,you will be sitting

[@jessegrinstead]

The GM would like you to report to his office.

[@sgtslaughter54]

Sorry bud, but I'm gonna have to call BS on that. It's easy to say stuff like that from the cheap seats, but when you're dealing with the all time HR leader you'd probably give them some leeway, too.

[@Shoestring20]

True,but some leeway. Yes,but he doesn't make the team. He tried that in Pittsburgh, Leland did have any of it. Cause if you allow him to get away with it,what make you think others won't follow. Yes it will be a hard decision to make to sit down a threat,but sometimes you have to lose a battle to win a war.

[@Killingwithkindess]

Barry fucking bonds?

[@Shoestring20]

Sit down a superstar. the rest of the team will fall in place. Let Superstar get away with it,the the rest will want the same.

Tony Gwynn is the best hitter of all time. Close second is Pete Rose.

[@thereisnosuchthingasanativ904]

Tony Gwynn had the power of a schoolgirl in his bat lmAo Contact hitter… perhaps All around hitter: not even top 20 If you talk average and power : pujols and Miguel dog him and that’s just since 2000s. Before him rodriguez dogged him, manny ramirez, Williams, sosa, palmeiro, Mad dudes had better avg/power ratio Best hitter means all around - Power Walks Singles Doubles Total bases Etc

[@TK0_23_]

Pure hitter. Hitter. Two different conversatiions. In no particular order. Pure hitters. Ichiro. Boggs. Gwynn. Joe Jackson. And I hear Ty Cobb was pretty good. There are others. Hitters:. Bonds. Ruth. Williams. Pujols. Foxx. Mays. Mantle. Aaron. Wagner. Musial. Gehrig. Griffey The Hitter list contains the best, most productive hitters. Gwynn is in the 20 to 25 range on this list. I think Bonds Is a top 10 hitter for sure. Your kinda splitting hairs when you try to compare different decades. I think Williams is the GOAT.

[@keysersoze9592]

Im sorry but, this is like the babe ruth conversations. Have a hard time putting those players in the convo when they played is a segregated league and not the best competition. I think those guys would shit themselves catching up to todays velo and break.

[@kenw2225]

No stop it. Ruth and Williams aren't good enough? Lol . They are number 2 and 3 all time batters

[@TK0_23_]

@@keysersoze9592 So players today have adjusted to todays pitching, but that's not possible for players who played 70 years ago. Because Williams wasn't really serious about hitting. It was more of a casual pastime for him. OK. I'm sure you know what you're talking about.
