Barry Bonds' beef with Jeff Kent included stolen bus seats, motorcycle mishaps, and a dugout fight 

Barry Bonds success came from drinking the daily recommended 8 glasses of water a day

See, it wasn't steroids... it was just beef.

This Barry Bonds was a machine. Rumor has it he got his slugging ability by doing 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and running 10 km _every day._

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.

Amazing how eating more fruits and vegetables made Barry Bonds into one of the best hitters in the history of baseball. You never know how far a good diet can take you.

One of the best baseball duos in history and one of the douchiest baseball duos in history. I say this as a Giants fan

Speaking of Barry Bonds, can we do a collapse of the Pirates after he left?

How dare you accuse Barry Bonds of being black without proof. For all we know he could be Irish

legend has it that barry bonds would’ve won an MVP even if he didn’t have a bat

when ever i hear prima donna, i think pre-madonna

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.

Jeff Kent extends the beef with his hatred of Giants by signing with the Dodgers. Seriously he hated the Giants.

All those balanced breakfasts certainly gave Bonds a short temper

The quality of these videos are literally unmatched. Props to the editors they are the true superstars

I’m glad this beef history was covered. These 2 needed each other more than they knew and it sucks it ended so soon.

In those three down years for the Giants, he averaged 37 homers and 33 steals, had a slash line of .304/.441/.610 - an OPS of 1.051. He was still MVP caliber.

I'm sure Jon Bois can figure out the beef mystery.

Beef History, Eugene Melnyk Vs. The City of Ottawa

My favourite Barry Bonds beef is Barry Bonds vs baseballs. He just kept smashing those poor things. He even practiced for hours a day and ate all his vegetables and drank all his protein powder just to destroy those poor baseballs a bit longer

Postmortem Beef History: Al Davis vs The NFL

My 15 year old step brother bummed 2 cigarettes off of Barry Bonds in a hotel elevator in Hawaii in the mid 90's. Role model material right there.

“Kent was praised as a blue collar player, hard-nosed, gritty, all that. In other words, white.” 😂😂😂

This beef history still has the best closing line.

I just realized Kent looks like Lord Baelish. Lord Baelish had some serious beef too.

Could've done Barry Bonds vs post season success, but this is good too.

Can you please do the deep rewind on the 2014 world cup match between Brazil and Germany

Jeff Kent would have won Survivor if it wasnt for Bonds

These videos always clarify my understanding of a subject I thought I already understood. It’s fun to get educated and actually KNOW something. Love the series.

From what I’ve heard Barry just hated the media from the start because of how they treated his father. While that doesn’t excuse how cocky he was, Kent just sounds like he was a suck up to the media and wanted to prove to everyone that he was great and humble, which is somehow more annoying in my eyes.

Your editors deserve a raise. Great job as always.

I realize this is ancillary but Peter McGowan deserves huge credit. He built his team a stadium without taking public money.

I still want to see Sidney Crosby versus Philadelphia (the whole city).

Scottie Pippen/Charles Barkely beef from 99

Beroid Bonds didn't need steroids to have gone down as an all-time great. But his personal jealousy of Sosa and McGwire caused him to throw away integrity for personal glory.

You guys should really really really do a beef history of Patrick Viera and Roy Keane. They had amazing beef that lasted a long time, while being two of the best players in their league, while playing for the two most dominant teams of the period and under two managers who also had a healthy amount of beef. It'd be a great video

Man I love these series. I've wasted over 5 or 6 hours watching all of these.

since bob emergency, 2 SB nation vids have been uploaded and no mentions of bob. We need more bobs

Deron Williams vs. Jerry Sloan great vid btw

Worth ever penny. The greatest player I have ever seen in my 42 years of life.

Loving these. Keep em coming

Jeff Kent on Survivor was amazing....I wish he would accept invitations to return

Kent should be a first ballot hall of famer, if I’m not mistaken when he retired he had most HRs ever by a 2B and a great fielding %

I appreciate the balanced honesty of this post. Thank you for not sugarcoating the double standards at play when it comes to the media.

You probably won't see this, but this "Beef" series you have among athletes is legit my favorite thing ever so entertaining

You have the best background music ever. Is this original music or stock stuff? Just awesome.

I absolutely love beef history, you could say I have an addiction to them. This along with Arod-Jeter are the best ones, thank you so much for the great content Secret Base!

You had the perfect opportunity to say “Beef tips.” C’mon man.

I didn’t know Jeff Kent from Survivor played baseball! 🙀🙀

Beef History Suggestion: Hit the way back machine and do Babe Ruth vs. Lou Gehrig

Senna vs Piquet, the beef from 30 years ago that still divides a country

The dugout fight is really interesting, in how it completely clashed with the personas that the media had built up; Bonds the "selfish me-first player" coming to a teammate's defense, and Jeff Kent the "team player" attacking his teammates. Shoutouts to Dusty Baker for taking no nonsense either, that shove was Extra.

Seriously you guys need to a collapse of the harbaugh niners. You know it's got the best stories. C'mon...for the clicks.

that was when I thought we were reallyyyyy good cuz we had the best home run hitter in the game. we lost the World Series with bonds and Kent but then won three in the 2010's I guess it was more about the pitching

Don Cherry vs. the Carolina Hurricanes

This has to be one of the best sportsteam chemistry stories🤣😂🤣🤣 what a duo🤷🏽‍♂️

Fantastic video and great reporting!! 👏🏻👏🏻

How the hell did I never notice how much of a gimmie home run number 73 was Dennis Springer just lobs one up for Bonds!

Ray Ratto "always the poet" xD this BEEEEEF was good

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.

Barry Bonds and Albert Belle were ahead of their time. They hated the media before it was the thing to do.

Kent looks like a dork cop

I see you mentioned skip bayless, can you do one one the beef between skip and jalen rose, Richard Sherman, lebron, or charles barkley

6 years for $43 million dollars for the greatest offensive weapon in baseball history. Imagine what he’d get in today’s market

Poor Barry never got over being blown away by young Henry Rowengartner.

Barry Bonds stat wise was an incredible player and at the same time I would never allow him near my team. He wasn't worth the trouble. It made it that much sweeter when the Giants won 3 World Series without him.

Can you do Roger Clemens vs. Mike Piazza?

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

we need more beef videos, some of the best content on youtube

15:05 - Well, Seth Rosenthal said it pretty simple, and it fit: Barry Bonds and Jeff Kent were both A**holes.

They were both a-holes or they were both really, really good baseball players and that’s what really good baseball players do. 6 years, an MVP a piece and *this* close to a World Series means tempers flair. Let it be known that they’re personal and professional relationship was never hampered nor hurt by race: they were just really, really good baseball players on some really good teams.

Barry Bonds stories are so fascinating, most polarizing player in history

Such a missed opportunity in not showing Jeff Kent’s bizarre exit confessional from Survivor where he blamed Obama for the taxation of the million dollar prize.

As a long time Giants fan, I agree with your conclusion.

Never heard of Barry Bonds. But I don’t think he was as good as Reggie Stocker

Great analysis. Really on point.

Much love to all the Steirry Bonds jokes. On a more serious note, I get the attempt to balance things by swinging things more against Kent for once, but (unless I missed it) you left out the HUGE elephant in the room of Bonds being one of very few players to NOT join the players' union in the last few decades. That rubs EVERY player the wrong way, no doubt.

I remember seeing them fight and thought that the season was over. Lo and behold they got down to business and went to the World Series.

Definitely should do a beef history between the Cubs and Sammy Sosa

I think this may have been the best show you've done yet It was very well written and presented

Juan ...thanks for being the great leader ..u are and have been a big brother to us all ...fav five the best .. to all the players thanks so much to u all.. for everything..😘😎love always the blue and gold..

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...

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

Kent and Bonds were like If Magic Johnson and Larry Bird chose to play baseball

Loved watching those guys back to back. You don't gotta be buddies if you still do you're job.

Give us the Barkley, Pippen, Michael Jordan, Isiah Thomas feud...

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

I don't think hard-nosed Blue collar player has anything to do with race. Many catchers fit that description, even a guy like Avery Bradley in the NBA or Tony Allen or Bruce Bowen.

Love the reference about Jeff Kent being on Survivor at the end of the video, I say that cause I got to watch the season he was on live

“In other words..........white.” Yooooooo I yelled for real 😂🤣😆

Do a John Rocker vs the city of New York beef history!

This was a GREAT episode of Beef History.

Perfect ending couldn't have summed it up better. It's so true

As a Jays fan I'd be pissed the Jays traded Kent in 1992 but they got David Cone for him who did help win the world series. Jeff was one of my favorite prospects back in the early 90s.

Dusty Baker's quote about good teams fighting being normal and bad teams always getting along is literally the exact opposite of how it is.

That ending!! 😂😂

Hey Youngling, how old are you? I like your delivery you go fella!

If Barry Bonds would've been more approachable and nicer to the public and press. He'd be in the Hall of Fame. And Barry Bonds would've at least played 2 more seasons. He 2,935 hits 2,558 BoB .He would've won a World Series 2010 and probably made a good run at the world's hr record of 868!

do ray allen vs celtics after their departure!

It's weird how much I enjoy these videos.

The minute you quoted Salon, I was out.
