He's the guy you want on your team, definitely the kind of guy you want behind the plate if you're pitching. I had a catcher in high school who definitely had an anger issue, not to dissimilar to Donaldson, and he would not be afraid to come out to the mound to tell you to fix it if you weren't living up to his expectations with his colorful language on full display. If that umpire was giving bad calls though, or someone on the other team hit one of our guys, he was the first one yelling and sticking up for his pitcher. We didn't really get along outside of the lines, but man, the amount of respect we had for each other when we were the battery. Some guy absolutely leveled him on a play at the plate one time, and that was the only baseball brawl I've ever been a part of, whole team went after that poor dude. I don't think their team was expecting it. We caught a few in the ribs for the rest of the game, as did they. Scrappy game, but that's the kind of energy someone like that brings to a team, love him if he's on your team, hate him if you're playing against him.

Our team was a group of country boys who grew up in either run down trailer parks or working on ranches and farms. It was kind of the culture of the team, if you had a problem with another guy you'd take it behind the dugout after practice and the coaches would look the other way. A lot of them were some tough SOBs, I wasn't really one of those, being a pitcher and all. Most of us on both teams got suspended for the next game. Lot of freshmen got a varsity jersey for that next game. Loved that team to death though, once you earned your respect in the dugout, they had your back between the lines.

They're probably the most overrated MLB team of that era. They sure get talked about a lot for a team that never made the World Series, never won 95 games, were only in the playoffs twice and had one ill-deserved MVP (Mike Trout was both a better hitter and fielder in 2015.) I mean, they show the Bautista home run off Dyson and the Encarnacion homer off Jimenez a lot for how little they meant in the end. By contrast, you basically never see any highlights of the Royals' two WS runs and their WS championship from the same time frame. 'Fun' is also very subjective. Their best two players, Donaldson and Bautista, are assholes. David Price is an asshole too. They had two different domestic abusers on the team (Reyes and Osuna). Kevin Pillar was suspended for homophobia. They played entertaining baseball, but the team was basically the 70s Raiders without any of the winning.

Some hecklers go way overboard, sure, but I believe in all honestly most are just trying to have fun with the players. We went down to South Louisiana for a baseball tournament in high school baseball once, and some Cajun high schoolers from the same school hosting the tournament had set up a pickup truck behind the left field wall. Pretty sure they were more than a few in, and just heckled every team that warmed up out there, and gave every left fielder a hard time. They gave each of us a nickname, mine was Daddy Long Legs because I was particularly lanky at the time. It was absolutely hilarious.

This is great and I love seeing someone overcome insurmountable odds. As a former player, I always understood the love for the game-still have my Topps and Fleer and Upper Deck cards from the early 90s and late 80s. I am not a fan of the modified game in our world today (because people stare at their cellphones all day and have no attention span). Still practice throwing and hitting to this day. Sadly, that uncle sounded like he was an abuser as well. In Little League, I was once hit 4 times in a game and 8 times the entire season. I had to change my stance-prior to that I modeled my batting stance after Willie Mays and Ron Gant and Terry Pendleton. The Big Leagues even pulled me into games as a fill-in. I decided to do music and various other things instead after my parents split. I did play intramural baseball at college and didn't lose my spark. His enthusiasm for the game......fires up other players.

Since this video, Josh now plays for the Yankees and seems to have lost his mojo. Idk, his age might be getting to him. I’m a lifelong baseball fan, and I knew there was something I liked about him and his intensity. This video makes me gain a ton of respect for Josh.

No disrespect to J.D., but Nolan Arenado is the best 3rd baseman since Brooks Robinson and is a great hitter as well. Donaldson is a really good player...Arenado is a Hall of Famer. We know a little something about the hot corner in Atlanta....Eddie Mathews (HOF), Clete Boyer, Darryl Evans, Bob Hoerner, Terry Pendleton (MVP), Chipper Jones (HOF), Donaldson, Austin Riley.

I have had my brother in law in my contacts as "Billy Boy" for over 4 years. Had no idea it's considered an insult. Lol.

Depending on context it probably isn’t but Billy Beane seems like the kind of guy who’d get chappy if you came at him during an argument and used it.

As someone from Toronto everything you said was 100% correct we loved him. He changed the culture of the sport in this city. Tbh city of TO will forever be in debt to the bringer of rain

No he didn't, the raptors winning the chip has changed the sport scene in Toronto, plus the fact that the leafs havnt won since before we landed on the moon.

I was at Donaldson's first 4 hit game back when he was with Oakland. I knew that he was going to be special for a really long time and was happy to have such a good player that would be on the A's for the forseeable future. I couldn't believe when Billy Boy traded him, but I wish him nothing but success for the rest of his life.

Damn that transition at 14:43 from him on the A's to him on the Jays was beautiful, if you've got an editor he's awesome and if you did it yourself I'm even more impressed with you doing everything yourself.

I fkn love Josh Donaldson. Huge Red Sox fan, but he was an absolute joy to watch in Toronto. Wish he never had to battle injuries. He has one of my favorite right handed swings of all time ( right behind Manny ;) )

Also it is amazing that a stoic guy like JD has such a soft spot for his mother. It seems like they've been through a lot, it's nice that the tough life didn't tear them apart.

I remember when I was 11 he was the bullpen catcher for the A's back in 2010. I was sitting in the 3rd row behind the bullpen while he was warming pitchers up at the coliseum. Some kids were sitting a few rows behind me heckling him to give them a ball after he was done warming the pitchers up. They were calling him stupid catcher and yelling it was one of their birthdays. Instead he came up to the fence and gave the ball to me. I will never forget that moment
