My brothers and I asked Barry Bonds for his autograph at a spring training game once. We were about 10 feet away from him and the park was basically empty. It was 60 degrees and drizzling, he told us it was too cold out and walked into the dugout.

[@clshep]

In 2002 I took my first born son to one of many Giants games we attended that year and he was only 5 at the time but he loved The City and especially PacBell Park (now Oracle). We'd get there early and I always bought a couple of baseballs before the game as my son was trying to get his first autograph of any Giants player. We had really good seats this one time, (section 121, about 4 rows up from the Giants dugout). As my son and I watched batting practice my son was in awe of the sheer power of major league hitters and who comes out of the batting cage and heading to the dugout? Jeff Kent. Kent is walking towards my son (I'm sitting in a chair behind my son as he leans over the fence separating the field from the stands with a baseball in one hand and a ball point pen in the other)...he quickly asks me, "who's that coming daddy?" I look over and I say, "That's Jeff Kent, be respectful." I see my son extend the ball and pen as Kent comes closer to the dugout and my son says in his sweet little voice, "Mr. Kent, may I have your autograph?" Kent looks up at my son (who is quite adorable if I do say so myself), and looks back down and walks into the dugout without saying anything. I see my son's shoulders deflate as I sit behind him. A part of me burns that Kent did not even acknowledging my boy....when out of nowhere, this other Giant comes up from the dugout where I couldn't see and stands up directly in front of my son....my son looks up at this monster of a man and my son's Giants hat nearly falls off from looking directly up towards the sky from the size of this man....but my son doesn't ask me who THIS Giant is....because he already knows....Barry fricken Bonds! Even I stand up to make sure I'm seeing what I'm seeing and as my son begins to say, "May I have your autograph Mr. Bonds...." Barry had already taken the ball out of my son's hand and was signing the ball for him! He hands the ball back to my son and fixes my boys Giants cap that was falling off. Bonds smiles and winks at my son, as I can't see my sons face because I'm behind him, but I'm sure his mouth is agape in awe. Barry goes to walk back in the dugout and my son catches himself and shouts louder than he wanted to, "THANK YOU MR. BONDS!!" My son turns around and with a victorious smile I will remember till the day I die...triumphantly extends his hand for me to see his signed Barry Bonds baseball. I walk over to where my son was standing and I try to peer into the dugout but I couldn't see Bonds from my perspective. From that moment, my son didn't want any more autographs. We walked to our seats 4 rows up and we sat together and admired the autograph he received from someone he didn't expect to receive it from. My son still has the ball to this day encased in an acrylic cube. He's 22 years old now and it sits on his desk in his room in my house. He's currently in college studying computer science (like his old man) and comes home for the summer and holidays but for my son and I, we'll always be grateful to Barry Bonds for that memory. Yea, I know he was juicing and that's how he was able to break Aaron's record and all....but the way I see it, A LOT of players were juicing. So I can't place judgement on a guy when we don't know what the actual percentage of players were also juicing. I mean, if Barry is on juice and the pitcher he's facing is also on juice....doesn't that make it a level playing field? That's the way I see it anyway....and I know I'm being partial towards Barry for the way he treated my son....but there's a lot to say for a man KNOWN for not signing autographs to sign an autograph for a 5 year old kid....especially when it's your kid.

The 70s A's and 1980 Phillies have entered the chat and they respectfully disagree with you.

[@MikeSuth4040]

Jeff Kent was one of the best hitting 2nd basemen’s in the 90s. Kent could hit for power and hit for average. I think he’s the most underrated 2nd baseman in MLB history.

[@RC.41]

Kent looks like a dork cop

[@dannycole4266]

Yeah like the douchebag prison guard in Orange is the New Black

[@JV-the-Tossh]

I love that ending conclusion. Just so nice and blunt.

[@tomismop]

I'm a big fan of Bonds but it seems like he was so petty that whenever other players got more recognition than him he would just increase his steroid use. It started with McGwire and Sosa but after Kent won the MVP in 2000 he went to BALCO and made it painfully obvious to everyone watching that he was doping

[@FastDuDeJiunn]

I was a huge bb fan in 90s and early 2ks. Followed giants, braves, rockies very closely. I never heard,of steroids. 1st game i seen bonds in 2001 season i was shocked. I couldnt believe it was him. How anyone missed it is beyond me.

do ray allen vs celtics after their departure!

[@p146boo]

as a kid giants fan during this era, jt snow was really the silver lining holding this team together. never a douche and signed every ball, cap, or jersey i held out to him

[@beardymcj2026]

I never knew that Kent pulled a reverse Rosa Parks on Barry's ass

It’s almost like the guy who didn’t cheat didn’t like the guy who did

[@NYCHeavyHitz212]

Funny thing is the 2001 and 2002 Giants are more memorable than when they won the World Series like three times in the 2010s.

[@hunterking6033]

Glad this turned into a race thing. Really improved the video.

[@jasonkraatz9574]

I remember when Kent joined the Astros and we got excited about the 2004 year because we also landed Pettitte and Clemens. Needless to say they still lost in the NLCS and I was glad to see Kent leave. He wasn’t as great as he thought he was.

[@Nielzey]

6:05 yeah but bonds had a 1.031 ops in 1997 compared to kent's .789, he wasn't "close behind" in stats

[@hvgades15]

Niels Christoffersen but, but, RBIs

[@mohit4679]

@@hvgades15 RBIs are a terrible stat to evaluate hitters by compared to ops

[@Kameratyp]

What‘s with giants and hurting their hands on motorcycles?

[@DanielOrteez]

Cause they're idiots. Go Dodgers!

[@seraphimfahmy3510]

9:14 this is where I begin to seriously doubt the accuracy of this. Anything that has to use Salon as a source is not accurate.

[@justinmorris3303]

bonds wasn’t in media more because he is black it was his status... when you win 2 mvps and get called out as a waste of talent, you’re gonna be in the press a lot more especially when you dodge them. kent was noted less because he said more, most reporters didn’t listen to him but the second barry finally said something they listened cus he never does that...

[@MaxPayne.]

This was amazing... Bonds is my favorite athlete of all time and I always hated the fact that him and Kent didn’t like each other. Good little documentary pal.

[@fredsanford336]

Really? Barry Bonds? I shouldn't talk I guess ive liked certain players that most people didn't. But damn, Barry Bonds?

[@MistaJG]

I have no issues w him shoving the reporter. These media clowns are never held responsible for some of the trash and false allegations they report.

[@liamhonan9221]

You answered your own question. You seem so fixated on the idea that Bonds and Kent were identical aside from skin color and then follow it up by calling Kent a hard working, team first player. Bonds was lazy and selfish. That’s why he got a worse rep

[@hvgades15]

Liam Honan lazy and Selfish while putting up numbers we’ve never seen before. Yeah that makes sense.

[@austinmusic5460]

I’m gna guess Liam’s a white guy
