EXCLUSIVE: BARRY BONDS Like You've Never Seen or Heard Him Before

[@bradenhubahib8778]

Barry Bonds geeking out about how livestreams work is something I didn’t think I needed until I saw it

[@UppurMGMT]

I came here to hear him talk shit and claim He’s the best… only for him to be just a regular father learning about the internet lol.

[@xJAWAx]

Hearing Barry be himself, I really like him. He got such a bad rep in the media that was all I knew about him. He probably is the best to ever pick up a bat. He has a great view of the game and I think we need to hear more from him.

[@BrutusJrThe3rd]

Same. Barry is amazing

[@PrickFlair]

The media is a big part of the reason this country is so messed up.

[@RayMagic12192]

His 01-04 Stretch was the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life watching sports. He would set walks records, while hitting alot of homeruns, while seeing only two pitches to hit a series.......GODLY .

[@jtremaine23]

Yeah, I had never seen a power hitter hit more homeruns than they had strikeouts (2004). His hand-eye coordination was top notch. Also, I had never seen a player so feared they intentionally walked Bonds with the bases loaded and this was in 1998 during the McGwire/Sosa chase.

Terrific interview. Learned so much about Barry. He really was a student of the game. The man should be in the hall of fame.

It’s nice to see Barry in this light, we didn’t get this when he played. Barry is the 🐐

[@allengordon41510]

I don't think baseball has ever had a personality like Barry who is so very much like Kobe, Jordan, and Kareem. The nuances of the game, sport and the competition is where all the focus is. The media and commercial requests really are a distraction, and a mindset of someone of that caliber has to pick and choose what outside distraction is worth giving time to.

I was at the game in Houston when he hit #70. Dierker had the pitchers walk him 4 times and most of the crowd had left. At the crack of the bat, I experienced the loudest moment I've ever witnessed at a sporting event, and we were all Astro fans. We don't get loud for our own team. The standing ovation lasted for at least 3-4 minutes. We didn't care if he took performance enhancing products. For one thing they didn't have anything to do with his natural ability we all witnessed when he was in his early 20's playing in Pittsburg. This guy had one of the best swings in the history of the game, great hands, and a great eye. More homeruns than strikeouts in '04 and almost in '02! That didn't happen because of a pill.

But ur the man Barry u are the greatest player of all time.. u gave me some of the greatest memories I've ever had watching baseball with my grandpa who is no longer with us.

You can say what you want about Barry Bonds but he was a unbelievable player who did what he wanted to on the field and would hit huge home that will be remembered for years to come. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.

@Trzn 2 Barry won Several MVPs and was on his way to 500/500 long before steriod allegations started. He was an 8 time gold glover and a stud at the plate. He was the best of his generation and when his ENTIRE generation started using peds he was STILL the best. If he had a better attitude he would have been forst ballot

[@bobbyanastacio7175]

Barry should be in the Hall. If they put anyone else from his Era, then he should be in. He has 4 of 7 greatest OPS+ seasons ever. He missed out on 3K because of pitch intentionally walking him out of fear. He averaged 139 walks a year versus 89 strikeouts. Just listening him describe materials and design of bats, to the shape, type of wood, balanced weight, etc. He's a student that because his attention to detail to be an absolute expert. I bet if the media asked him better questions during his playing time......

[@kidmack3556]

During the hearings here in S.F. I left a comment on Barry's website telling him that his father was my favorite player as a kid, as a matter of fact, I recently realized that my first attendance at Candlestick was Friday 10 APR 70 with my mom's friend who took me, and Mays made yet another spectacular catch at the fence while colliding with Bonds. I wanted to support Barry by telling him that I put on a lot of muscle in just a few months through increased exercise and nutrition, and Paul Coffey's training regime of exercising for hour or so immediately after games. Anyway, I know that human physiology is variable, as are the results of training.

[@flame-sky7148]

Great interviewer. One fact when you consider the Hall of Fame, the first inaugural class: Ruth, Cobb, Wagner, Johnson, Mathewson in 1936. None of them were playing the game to become hall of famers. The hall of fame was established after they played. They didn't say to themselves, "I'm going to be in the hall one day." They didn't think that for one day in their playing career. All Bonds wanted to do was complete the circle of playing in SF to be in LF with his father in right, and godfather in center. I saw Barry in Pittsburgh in 92, he hit a home run first inning and trotted around the bases while the organ played at Three Rivers. I was a kid and I remember being so thrilled.

Bonds explaining the analytics of how they’re going to pitch to a batter reminds me of what he did against the Angels in his first World Series at bat and against Roy Oswalt

[@dinoc734]

no one realizes that he played 4 years in colleg and was one the top players in the history of college ball, then his first four years in the majors he was a leadoff batter. he was 26 when he finally made it to the middle of the lineup.

[@flame-sky7148]

Yea, that 88' year he could have had 90 to 100 rbis, but Leyland kept him at leadoff, then in 1990-1991 he placed him 5th in the lineup instead of in between Van Slyke and Bonilla. When he did move Bonds down in the order they started winning divisions. I think he's right, Griffey had the opportunity to be the goat if he stayed healthy (but Griffey had protection especially 96-99). We gotta hope Trout can stay healthy because he's a potential goat too. Bonds was a pleasure to watch, I saw him in person in the 90's and it was a thrill.
