The INSANE Prime of Barry Bonds

[@mac7133]

The fact that he had 500 home runs before that insane four year run blows my mind. Also, you could justify him having 11 MVPs, which...WHAT?!

[@joyis9638]

PEDs are the reason.

[@cameronholmes5590]

Before 2001 he had 494 home runs which in itself is still very good. His career numbers before 2001 make him look like a hall of Famer cause he was approaching 500 stolen bases too. In fact before 2001 he had 2,157 and if take into account his 494 home runs, 23% of his hits were home runs (22.902 but 23% if you round up)

[@moeball740]

It's interesting to think what would have happened without the steroids mess. Barry would have probably hit fewer HRs in his career but still would have ended up with well over 500, maybe even 600. He wouldn't have been pitched around as much so he would have walked less although he still would have led the league in walks and OBA several times. People think that minus steroids Barry wouldn't have hit the ball as far or as often, but they forget that without all the intentional walks he would have been given many more opportunities to swing away rather than getting pitched around - which in itself would have resulted in more homers. Barry also would have easily reached 3000 hits without all the walks (which is also true for Babe Ruth and Ted Williams, for that matter). Would have still been a great career for Barry, just in a different way.

Dude just goes ahead and swipes 500+ bases along with the incredible power numbers. Smh…best player I’ve ever seen in my life and I’ve been watching baseball for 45 years (I’m 52).

I know that I cannot be the only person to think about the fact that even if he did use performance enhancement drugs. Does everyone forget that batters were not the only players to be using the phds. When the pitchers are using them, what would you do, look bad,and overmatched by even a rookie pitcher. Pitchers spin rates on balls almost doubled along with velocity increases also. I'm not a fan of phds, but I'll be damned if I would stand by and let pitchers get the battery off me. Bonds was one of the smartest batters I have ever seen .his knowledge of pitchers is unpresidented and underappreciated. He worked as hard as anyone and I feel he just evened the playing field. You will always be at the top of my list ,Griffey Jr. Fielding , and Bonds Batting .. most of you critics have probably never even been in the batter's box for the ball for an over 80 mph so until you have just you need to think about what you're saying get off his back.

If you watched Bonds you know the roids were just a talking point. You know how good of a hitter and player he was. Just look at his numbers pre 1998 and post 2002. Scandal happened in 2003. The next 2 years, in his late 30s, off the PEDs (being tested regularly), under the microscope, with the whole world booing him, he slashed .342/.529/.713 and .362/.609/.812. Just incase that didn't click, I'll say it again. SIX. HUNDRED. AND NINE. On base percentage. EIGHT. HUNDRED. AND TWELVE. Slugging percentage. Off the roids. Under the microscope. OPS+ of 231 and 263. 263 being the highest ever despite his age and lack of PED use at that point. Nobody is even close. I don't think pre 1970 ballplayers should even be talked about in comparison to modern (1970+) players because of the lack of talent depth. Even for 20 years after Jackie, most of the league's owners were racist and the MLB was almost entirely white americans. 1970 and onward we started to see international and interracial play. And nobody was even close to Bonds. Not even the other PED users.

When manager Leyland finally moved him down in the order to drive in runs in 1990, the rest is history. His WAR and RBI total would have been greater had he been moved down in the order sooner. I saw him in 92 in Pittsburgh as a kid, he hit a home run in the upper deck in the first inning. One of my favorite Bonds moments is when the Giants won the west in 1997 and Bonds stood on the dugout hugging the fans and celebrated with them after the game. It was wild. He should have won the 1991 MVP, even though he got off to a slow start that year. The best of the best.

No interracial or international talent. Barry played in an era where the PEDs he took weren't even illegal and literally everyone was on them. Yet he completely obliterated everyone else. If the media didn't hate him, he would have somewhere between 9 and 11 MVPs. And if pitchers didn't intentionally walk him several hundred times, he'd probably have hit 900 homers. If anyone genuinely believes that is solely or even largely because of steroids, they're just ignorant.

(Spanish) Mi opinión personal es que Bonds era un bateador muy respetado por su capacidad de no hacerle swing a picheos malos. Al inicio, Bonds se ponchaba más de las bases por bolas que ganaba. Pero él fue mejorando, más y más. Más o menos en el año 5 de su carrera, Bonds comienza a tener más bases por bolas que ponches. Y eso es una habilidad incuestionable. Y a medida que transcurría el tiempo, Bonds mejoraba más y más en ese aspecto. Yo a veces observo a Ohtani y las veces que se poncha. Y comparó con Bonds. Bonds era simplemente ENVIDIABLE. Esa capacidad de reconocer los picheos buenos de los malos. Para mí, Bonds es un Hall of Fame. Lo que pasa es que los periodistas NO respetan. Si un jugador NO quiere dar entrevistas, ¿cuál es el problema? ¿No hay más jugadores? Para mí es injusto lo que ocurrió con Bonds.

No way Tom Brady and Barry Bonds went to the same high school. No way.

It feels like it should be fake! haha

[@razkable]

Curry and lebron were both both in Akron I think in the same hospital

[@razkable]

Tatum and mat did so

[@razkable]

Biggie and jay z did

[@chillquinones5362]

Someone up top said that Bonds is the only player to have 2 primes...in all of sports I think Brady should be on that list as well! And they went to the same school lol

[@jtom1309]

Do Eddie Murray or Ozzie Smith. I would also like to see one on Canseco, Palmerieo or Ruben Sierra.

[@PenalColonly-tj2hk]

Ruben Sierra would be awesome, one of the underrated greats! Also Will Clark?

[@Gustamegillgetaguyskitty-ti6ox]

@@PenalColonly-tj2hk Yes Will Clark!!! Clark was better than most, just retired too early.

[@aldito7586]

Roberton Clemente. Now that's a baseball player!!!

[@MrCjjuengst]

Everyone in the 90s and early 2000s used steroids. Bonds' numbers were in a different galaxy than anyone else from 01-04. He remained an excellent player till he was blackballed out of the league. No other steroid user came close to doing what he did. The MLB allowed the use of steroids and it led to the most popular period ever. The way the players are blamed while HOF gm Bud Selig and the mlb get to wash their hands of the situation frustrates the hell out of me.

[@mikeschultz6383]

No more than 57 strikeouts in a season says it all in a 7 year period

[@sir.muffiniii7011]

Considering how much he walked and the power he hit for aswell makes it even more insane

[@robinlinh]

we can't deny the fact that Bond dominated baseball like no one ever seen before just as how we can't deny his influence of PED. His mark on baseball is so great and his number was tained by the PED, two sides of the same coin. But neverless, his record still stand and until someone without PED break his number, we still play the game under that shadow.

[@rickybobbysdriver555]

He was a great player before ped's. He should be in the hall.

[@charliegarcia6677]

Imagine if he never got walked! Dude number would be out of this world! Record on the most walked and feared man to hit the ball!

[@qhillis]

There were juiced dudes all over the league. No one came even close to the level of dominance his natural plate discipline and vision combined with the juice unleashed on the league.

[@bryanterrill7674]

I was a huge bonds fan early 90s with pirates. Not interested in debating the roids or if he belongs in the hall, but I will say the sad thing is to be that close to 3k hits. A club I'm sure he wanted to be in. All those IBB really robbed that stat.

[@Cam23]

Without a doubt! 3,000 was in the cards had he not gotten intentionally walked so often

[@bluekattana5898]

Hey big fan of all of you content ❤ just sayin if you haven’t you should do a video on hank Aaron

[@Cam23]

Thank you for supporting the channel! I'm hoping to make one on Hank soon, the footage is hard to come by for certain seasons I want to highlight

[@shannonjones3084]

You should do Barry larkin next

[@Gustamegillgetaguyskitty-ti6ox]

Yes, should and other guys from the 86-87-88 era like Will Clark, Palmeiro, Ruben Sierra, Fielder, Bonilla, Canseco, McGriff, Alomar, Grace and Matt Williams too.

[@joshuapatrick682]

also, I distinctly remember an interview he did during the all star game where he, Frank Thomas and one other player (maybe Sosa, maybe Bonilla?) in the mid 90's talked about their relationship with the fans and out of the three players only Frank Robinson mentioned he believed he WAS a role model for children and should act accordingly. Bonds didn't mind the hundreds of millions he was paid by the ticket sales and merchandise of fans, but didn't feel like he owed them anything in return which is a bit bizarre to me.

[@tburt6551]

A lot of these historically great athletes have some type of scandal but stats is stats and it and B.Bs stats is HOF worthy.

He was one of the best players in baseball even before the sauce. Same with Arod, they were always going to be great players, steroids just made them better.

[@KevinC999-n6j]

I'm here watching Bonds video because of the Ohtani craze, people have anointed him the GOAT because of the excitement he generates like this is something new. Bonds may have taken steroids but not after the controversy hit. Bonds elevated to the next level and stayed there. He conceivably could have played 2 more productive seasons and might have gotten pitches to hit in those seasons. You could have a college statistics class to study his numbers. Wayne Gretzky is the only player to match up statistically to Barry Bonds.

[@Cam23]

he took his game to the next level seemingly every year 😂

[@KevinC999-n6j]

@@Cam23 Bonds is a statistical anomaly like Wayne Gretzky who holds virtually every scoring record in hockey. His career assist total is greater than the second place total points total. There is no debate in hockey about who the greatest player is. Barry Bonds reached perfection as a hitter no one can top him, because Baseball refused to pitch to him as evidence by all the BB's. Imagine if he skipped College Baseball and signed the minor league contract he would have been in the majors as a teenager.
