The Transformation of Barry Bonds: From Pure Talent to Steroid Scandal
Barry Bonds boasted a career that spanned an impressive 22 seasons in Major League Baseball. During this time, his journey saw him as a key player for the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1986 to 1992 and the San Francisco Giants from 1993 to 2007, all combining to solidify his status as one of the greatest baseball players of all time.
But then, despite his numerous accolades, which included breaking the all-time home run record, he would soon find himself in some messy situations as he became a central figure in the ongoing debate surrounding performance-enhancing substances in baseball.

Maybe. Definitely a debatable point and whether or not you agree a PED user can be considered the best. Thank you for the comment.

Yes, eventually he will be allowed to enter the Hall of Fame. He needs to make some admissions to speed that up.

Bonds is 100% guaranteed to not be as good if couldn't wear juggernaut armor at the plate while standing over top of it. Notice in Pitt he didn't wear it. Once the league allowed all that protection he hugged the plate without fear. Wouldn't work in the 70sm he'd get blown back incessantly or hit by pitch. I still view bonds as the best ever. But I think his efficiency surged once he got the elbow pad and juggernaut armor at the plate. It helped him own the plate fearlessly. Steroids were less of a factor of his dominance than his body armor.

@BBUYTTV 3 месяца назад

You make great points. I am really conflicted about my assessment of Bonds. My eyes tell me he is probably the best ever, but all of the issues that hang over him make me wonder if he was really that much better than everyone else. Thank you for the comment.

@kenw2225 3 месяца назад

120 intentional walks. Almost 1 a game. 232 walks , 1.5 walks a game in 04. Can't see this ever happening again. Unless we see a 1000hr career from someone.

@spillingblood1985 28 дней назад

There's nothing worse than someone that won't admit to something that even the blind can see. If he would have been truthful from the start, I'd say yea he should be in the HOF, with an asterisk next to his stats of course. At this point though, if he came out today and admitted to it, i would say no. He had his chance many times, and let years go by. That would mean it was only because of his typical Bonds ego, couldn't stand that he wasn't in the HOF.

@BBUYTTV 28 дней назад

You are probably right. If he had admitted it he would have received a lot more sympathy. Thank you for the comment!

@user-cv1vk9hb5d Месяц назад

Easy to say that Bonds was that good because of steroids. No real proof, but plenty of suspicion. I'm not sure that is the case. Compare his record with Aaron's. They played to the same age and were great players and homerun hitters all their careers. Aaron might have been a good base stealer, but the game was different. Bonds had his best homerun season when he was 36. Aaron had his best total when he was 37 and both hit in the range of 40-45 homers during most of their careers. Bonds may have been a lot heavier in his thirties, but Aaron certainly had gained weight in his later years as well. Bonds benefited from a lively baseball in the late nineties and early 2000s while Aaron had to suffer the pitching era of the sixties. Training and diet were much better during Bonds' time than in Aaron's and Bonds certainly took advantage of that. The biggest difference between them was that Bonds always drew an exceptional number of walks while Aaron did not. Also, Aaron was not walked intentionally the way Bonds was due to different strategies. Steroids may have helped Bonds, but if so, there were enough others factors that could have been the reason. Finally, Aaron had fans and the press on his side while they didn't like Bonds. They would like to have his reputation tarnished.

@Vmac1394 3 месяца назад

Bonds is a weird figure, he was probably a top 20 all time player without cheating. Then he become a parody of the steroid era.

@Uns_Maps_8 2 месяца назад

He was no doubt a great player but he went from 35 homers a year to 70 at the end of his career. He could have been a little more careful to not pump up his numbers so disproportionally

@BBUYTTV 2 месяца назад

The difference is pretty unbelievable as you highlighted. I would also add how many players hit more HRs in their late 30s and early forties when compared to their 20s.

@vladimirjackson1272 2 месяца назад

Bro, he could ALWAYS hit anything they threw at him. Steroid didn't fix his vision. IF he was on roids, just means that the ball went further! What made him a better hitter as he got older is experience and more talent than everyone else!

@BBUYTTV 2 месяца назад

@@vladimirjackson1272 highly unlikely, given the 100+ years of baseball history where basically no one was better as they approached 40 than earlier in their career. Also hitting the ball further translates into more HRs…hence helping him hit more home runs. Not saying he isn’t a great player, but you can’t overlook the impact steroids had on his career. I think he should be in the hall of fame like the rest of the steroid guys…we just need to acknowledge facts. Thank you for your comment.

not just mlb.
