Barry Bonds - World Record Hitter (MLB Baseball Home Run Documentary) 

Balco labs is one hell of a drug - just rub that shit into your skin and your good to go.

Nearly all the pitchers were likely on the juice facing Bonds. I have no problem saying he belongs in the Hall of Fame. GOAT.

@@frankzappa2371 I regard him as the greatest player of all time - as a kid went to Giants games - He had a bitchy attitude and cheated - but still the most skilled - I would actually watch sports if they allowed drugs - enhances the game.

I have never seen as good a hitter than pujols and the ten years i saw in STL

THIS IS BASEBALL LADY.

@@tinypoolmodelshipyard don't ever ridicule my team or somebody I've watched for 38 years from Candlestick to that seat was my season ticket from the new stadium you don't belong there so just stay out of baseball and stay out of that Stadium. I still tell you to jump off the balcony or go drowned in the bay. The guy yelling at you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And thank you for pulling that stunt because I got to go meet Barry Bonds after that incident 🖓🖓🖓🖓🖓🖓

How did me typing "THIS IS BASEBALL LADY" got you to meet Barry bonds. Someone's delusional and needs to up the dosage on their meds😁😁😁👋👋

@@jeffmusgrave6467 someone watched to much Ghostbusters growing up, I forgot your the gatekeeper to SF ballpark, I'm book a trip now and go in 2022 just to spite you. I'll avoid the bathhouse so I don't get as BUTTHURT as you currently are...(over a comment on the internet and they say us millennial are soft, they should see how the baby boomers lose their shit over dumb shit on the internet)

F you and have a nice day jeff

imagine you cheat on a test, or a paper, or just any other industry or profession not sports. Whats the consequence of cheating? Why should it be any different? I dont see the point of being honest if society doesnt deem it necessary

ok, you must have him confused with Rickey Henderson. Because Henderson is the best player of that generation.

@@xman777b he took roids too and you’re dumb af

Really dude , whose head grows in size , and feet grow in size as they age into their 30's.

Ruth did all he did playing drunk half the time or hung over.....and he also never had to use anything at all performance enhancing.....without drugs...Bonds would have probably had the real skinny him out of the game 5 or 6 years earlier...and been long forgot just like the bum he really was just like his daddy was

The bum who won 3 mvp's prior to anything steroid related? His dad wasn't even a bad player at all either. You're quite clueless, aren't you..

@allstarr9tc please don't waste your time trying to respond to people like him...our recent situation in this country has emboldened him to show his true colors

lol don't worry, it's for the sake of entertainment in seeing what he'd say back :b

Babe Ruth played against the best pitchers in history. Rickey Henderson bragged he was the greatest because he could run from 1st to 2nd a hundred times. Bragging cocky N-word. My favorite moment is when Nolan Ryan struck that nappy-haired asshole out

you mean the man who only faced 7 teams and saw the same pitcher over and over again? a man who never faced the absolute best competition ? no doubt he is one the greats but Bonds is Truly the most dominant hitter ever

Judge Smails did ruth play against people of color?

Michael Silverstein D.C. not the most dominant athlete.Bo Jackson Michael Jordan LeBron James and Wilt Chamberlain would have a word with you

Michael Silverstein D.C. but yes bonds was incredible,should be in the hall

Got proof? Then shut your mouth and keep it stepping.

@@erichvonmanstein6876 don't need proof when we've got common sense.

Where is ur proof? Mcguire, Canseco & Clemons admitted to using steroids. Bonds never admitted or was prove to use steroids in 22 year career.

Bullshit, Josh Gibson hit 800 homeruns WITHOUT STEROIDS.

Hank Aaron is the home run king .No peds The juicers will always have an asterisk next to their records.None of them are in the hall either.

And all of that without failing a single test. Every athlete in the world is looking to get ahead. If what he took wasn't tested for, I don't care if it was diesel fuel. He is a hall of famer and the voters should have their privileges revoked if they can't get him in. David Ortiz will go in without hesitation, why not Barry. His personality shouldn't factor in either. The way he was treated by the media and fans would make most humans get defensive or angry. He was always my favorite player. I got his rookie card when i was 10 years old. I will always keep it displayed.

nope. Rickey Henderson

Hank Aaron = Homerun King Barry Bonds = Great player even without steroids

@@Jacobthekid28: You got the fist half correct. He was a juicier.

@@arturbello4213 nah Barry is the goat

@@arturbello4213 nah... 3 MVP's before such allegations were made. so nah roids didnt help him take a curveball in the dirt..

@@ethancbaker2002 Of being juiced.

No he wasn't. He never had a very good arm mostly why he played LF and wasn't a great fielder (Gold Gloves are joke so don't even mention them). He was a great offensive player.

Playing LF doesn't mean you can't throw....it means you aren't as fast as the guy at CF. Barry Bonds was a 5 tool player, and one of the greatest the game will ever see. No-one will ever hit more than 762 home runs, that's for sure. As for Gold Gloves - they aren't a joke, and Bonds has got 8 of them.

Wrong and Wrong He could run well and had decent range, which is why he was CF to start his career, but you need an arm to play center and right. He didn't have one. Which is why moved to LF. If had an arm he would have played RF. Yes, it does. Generally, your worst defensive players play LF or 1B. Gold Gloves are a joke ask anybody who knows baseball. So he can't be a "5 tool player" without an arm or even an average defender.

You've basically contradicted your own argument. Bonds spent about 4 years (a reasonable amount of time) at CF when he was in Pittsburgh, and by your own admission "you need an arm to play center". He switched to LF because he couldn't run in San Fran as well as he could at Pittsburgh (in fact he lost a lot of speed even when he was a Pirate, and shifted to LF there towards the end), not because he couldn't throw. Did he have the greatest arm in the history of baseball? No. Was it above average? Yes. I just know you're going to link me to a video of the 92 NLCS Game 7 though, which most haters seem to use to justify this argument. How exactly can Gold Gloves be a joke to "anybody who knows baseball", when they are voted for by managers and coaches in the Majors?

If had an decent arm he would have been in RF. CF with good arms move to RF. I.e. Tori Hunter, Andrew McCutchen. CF with bad arms move to LF. Barry Bonds, Johnny Damon, Gold Gloves are based not based on any defensive stats at all. It's popularity contest. Hell, Jeter won a bunch despite being a statue at SS. If he was in the AL he would have been a DH after the '98 season. He was a negative Defensive player every year after that until he retired and from 92-98 he was average. 86-91 he was very good. So most of those Gold Gloves are a joke. Mainly the ones he won from 92-98. Bonds was an average defensive player at best.

756 bonds stands alone

@@Thefvkingoat exactly! BONDS STANDS ALONE and Bonds HITS ONE HIGH!!! HE HITS IT DEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPP!

No you are complelty making that up that's not how it works. Players that are taking peds dont talk about it. They dont tell anybody. It's an unwritten rule you just dont talk about them , not in the clubhouse, not in the dugout, not anywhere. You would never know . I can only think of 2 players that were for sure taking peds and that's it.

@Nimfa McDonald I suppose that if you prefer "arrogant" to the way I stated it - "...he refused to play nicey nice with the press", I can understand your perspective. However, it's never been more obvious to me in America, that the country is sick with racism. Sick (White) People who mean well, but are still in this fog of "if he'd only play nice he'd be in the hall" ... are mistaken. There is AN ENORMOUS double standard here... Colin took a knee, and he's unable to get a job in the NFL. Yet... our most trusted public servants do it on camera, and are praised by half the voting population. But folks still insist that race doesn't figure in stuff like this. I say this because I used to feel the same way you do Nimfa McDonald... I thought that if a few blacks were allowed to the table, and if they "behaved"... well, things would be getting better for black folks in this country. I believe, and it's my experience, that most white Americans are still stuck in that tribal, instinctual reacting... they are not evil, I believe that most of us are good people. But for me, if we ever want to transcend the nightmare that is America today, we'll have to change. God I miss baseball... God I miss being able to enjoy a game without politics...but, sorry, I find it really hard to go back to ignoring generations of horrific injustice... Barry Bonds' situation is a very tame example of it... I wonder how many black men are either in jail, or dead because they "didn't play nice"? Look at the statistics... look at the prisons... Here's to better times!

Love Supreme I don’t know about that.

He fucking cheated!!

you cant cheat stealing bases or knocking in runs those who don't play has the most to say

Love Supreme you can cheat when you pump your body with chemicals to give you an edge over everyone else who isn’t juicing. Of course his numbers are all due to steroids but that stuff really enhances his stats and you can’t realistically deny that. He should have stayed clean and he could have been proud of his career. Now the HR title is tainted all bc of him.

Simon Ritchie I say it everywhere and I’ll say it again, best player since Mays before he even used.

+Bill Carpenter ARod is a fellow cheater and Mays is his godfather. What do you expect them to say?

+Kelly02895 lol good point

Both A-Rod and Barry are fake, those records shold be removed.

A-Rod was a Top 5 ss B4 he got to texas and juiced he had all the talent in the world and Bonds passed every MLB Drug Test..

Everybody around Bonds are beeing investigated, some other players said he used PED, My opinion is until it`s all clear, he can`t be inducted. And I also think that 60 HR in a regular season today is a number impossible to reach without steroids. Everybody knows that there was something wrong back in Bonds, Sosa and McGuire`s days.......too many records were broken and some guys easily reched 50+ homers in a regular season, in the early 2000`s Barry could hit a HR blinfolded, all he had to do is hit the ball....just that simple.

The record books would look different thats for sure, and he was a catcher. J. Bench wouldn't be considered the best catcher of all time, Josh's name would be all over that.

@@tinypoolmodelshipyard That's why I consider the HOF a big joke. Many of the inductees were bigots and racists, but yet they're in. When Barry was on route to break Hanks record, all ballparks were filled to see the Barry Bonds show. You didn't hear one owner protest since they were raking in the big bucks. But in 2007 after the record was done, they all convoluted to keep Barry from signing to any team. That's the hypocrisy that pisses me off. Barry was on route to hit 800 plus homers and I was deprived of seeing a generational talent like him do that. If it wasn't the fact that I love baseball so much, I'd stop watching MLB.

@@tinypoolmodelshipyard purely speculation

Never...

he admitted to somehow "unknowingly" taking steroids.

BIGGIEDEVIL No evidence? Just look at size of his head.

Yes it does.It increases eyesight,hand to eye,batspeed,physical strength,endurance,stamina,and more.

you have not seen to many have you lol

Quite a few actually.. Bonds was the best.

espdemon willie mays was maybe the best i think.. if i had to pick one.. i dont like saying anyones the best really.. thats when people start playing favs and judging. u know lol

I hear ya, and I agree. I never saw Mays play live. Never saw Musial, Williams, etc... started watching MLB in the 80s and I never saw a more talented player than Bonds. Just being honest, whether it's a popular opinion or not.

I'd argue Willie Mays was the G.O.A.T but I respect your opinion.

@@Jacobthekid28 Babe Ruth.

@@radish1972 Sorry but I dont really consider players from his era.

@@Jacobthekid28 ? Why? OPS+ is a stat that adjusts for the everything, including Eras, Parks, etc. 100 is League Average. Ruth is the only person with a career above 200. Bonds is 182. This means that Ruth was overall a better hitter. Consider that he was also a Cy Young caliber pitcher, and theres really no competition.

@@radish1972 Okay well no. The one thing that OPS+ cannot adjust for is the quality of the pitching. It just adjusts to the run environment and ballparks. Also, he was an okay starting pitcher but I wouldn't necessarily say that he was a Cy Young caliber starting pitcher.

Stop smoking crack

💯

@Charles George shut

Enrique Dominguez you are right

He took steroids but that shouldn't take away from his Hall of Fame status. I seem to always be in the middle of the Barry Bonds debate. I believe that he took steroids to achieve the Homerun record however, he was the best all-around player in 1990s.

Steroids just makes you not sore when you work out nothing more

Steroids also turn what would have been a pop fly into a Homer.

​@@poopjeans1135 says someone that never played baseball

​@@NoName-le5oz aww, looks like someone is late for their siesta. keep dreaming dude. ive played many innings.

OMG....you're right....lol.....thats like me walking into a room on stilts and saying "I'm now the tallest person in the room"

They targeted Barry Bonds as if he was juicin... and he was.

@@shweeps Wrong Again. It was Conseco and Mgquire who were "juicing" not that it means anything. There is no pill or substance you can take to be a better hitter.

If i write a paper, or do homework, or any project. And I cheat. What should my punishment be? put me in the HOF or punish me. Why does baseball need a different set of standards? Bonds cheated. HE SHOULD NEVER BE IN THE HOF.

@@whendoigettosayfuck the PED's improved performance. Its literally in the name. It does improve hand eye, it does help athletes recover at super human paces, and it give an unfair advantage to those who dont use. Anyone who says otherwise is ignorant of the game, medicine and science, and the mathematical stats that prove they improve performance.

@@user-by6wf6lz9u He did not cheat in any way. It's not possible to cheat in baseball. He was rude to the reporters and people did not like his attitude so they railroaded him.

How lol Aaron was taking greenies too lol

@Willie Workman How many pounds of muscle do you believe amphetamines add to a hitter? Bonds and McGuire entered MLB as pencils and left as redwoods.

@@carnakthemagnificent336 I was always 180lbs in my 20's but when I reached my 30's 220 ... You gain weight with or without them . Drugs are drugs

John Craftenworth So True.😁

Take a guess when Mickey Mantle died?

8-13-1995

Unfortunately, Mickey is wrong. There’s this dude named Willie Mays.

Henderson

Here's some Babe's 2000 homers, ha

Shane D HE wasn't in the same world as Ruth. Couldn't hold his glove.

I saw his stats. And just on old film's. But if you're trying to insinuate that some player. Any player was as good as Ruth, then we're not talking about the same game I am. Nobody has ever been as good as Ruth. Period. Nobody. Nobody. Aaron went to bat 28 hundred more times than Ruth to get to 700. That's not even close. NO.

Shane D I agree...and if he didn't miss 3-5 seasons with injuries and as a fighter pilot, his numbers would of be astronomical...he had the best swing ever

+acorn sucks HANK AARON! IS THE BEST HITTER AFTER BARRY BONDS!!!

acorn sucks dude... lol... why? should i retract that? i know absolutely nothing about baseball...

Mervin Knight you're a pretty shitty troll. Answer in all caps with multiple !!!!!!!! then state later that you know nothing about the sport you so confidently provided an answer to. Piss off.

@@Jacobthekid28 that is for sure.

How do you know. What about being racist.

Babe Ruth

+John LeMasters HANK AARON!!!

i saw that too.

Canseco was proof that steroids don't make you Barry Bonds or Canseco would have been better.

Exactly

He went from the best player of his generation to the best player of all time... He got his stats and his $$$$

Na , that would be McGwire . He hit the moon shots .

impassable he isn't though... Only a .298 batting average and not even in the 3000 hit club after a 22 year long career

diggi juri He wasnt pitched to during his prime

diggi juri you using batting average as a sole determinant of how good a hitter is disqualifies you from talking about baseball. Plus, that’s skewed by the first few years of his career where he wasn’t an elite offensive player yet. Also total hits has more to do with total official ABs. Rose has over 4000 hits because he played forever, but he was never anywhere near as productive at the plate at Bonds. He could only dream.

Henderson

TheBlaise123 so not true 162 games injuries are injuries. Tired is tired, trust me PEDS only give the potential to gain muscle. Nothing else.

yeah and it just let's you hit the ball 400ft further.

Really and what do you other than foul language.

I thought I was the only one that noticed that

It was a racist thing

Those are the two most simplistic posts I've ever read - unless you're being sarcastic. ;-)

so the fact that he admitted to somehow "unknowingly" took steroids means nothing to you I guess.

Not a racist thing at all? Mark McGwire and Bonds are both universally seen as juicers, skin colour didn't matter. Bonds did have some unreal bat speed though, and probably the sweetest swing of all time.

Griffey JR had the sweetest swing ever. Bonds was a great hitter before steroid use, roids gave him ridiculous power, that's a fact.

I know imagine that, a guy getting gradually bigger after 22 years in pro sports. .........idiot.

@@erichvonmanstein6876 He juiced man. He admitted.

@@radish1972 BWAHHHHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! ok kid.

I think the change is a bit overstated the man was in his 30s and it's not like baseball is a sport where you move around a lot

Damon watt won't ever be in the hall either

European American he gets more and more votes every year

Not far off but , no. Bonds is better its obvious.

Very true, but Bonds was still a great player

Hank wasn’t clean at all, his era just barely had standards on what a “substance” was

nope. Rickey Henderson.
