Look how violently Barry Bonds was swinging.

[HrNY]

He won the battle, but we won the war. He traded his big black bat for some better stats, but screwed himself in the end.

Shalom

That 2002 world series where he was chasing a ball and fell, apparently he had his bat popped out and it wouldn't go down which is why he fell going after that ball lol

[GhostofDempsey]

agree with you a lot but on this one, sure he was juiced, but in baseball who wasn't. Don't see how that's fair that people are taking steroids to get closer to Barry's level, once Barry took them he left them behind once again.

As for the shortened right field, that's also very incorrect. I grew up going to Pac Bell Park and a giants fan, there's nothing short about that right field wall. There's a reason no Left handed batters come to play for the giants. The right field LINE is 309, but that wall is tall and Barry wasn't getting home runs just barely going over that 309 line. Right center is horrible at 400+ and it also has a high wall. That San Francisco air at night also kills balls. There's so many times a ball was hit only to get "AT&T'd"

Sorry homie, in this case you're wrong

I'm not wrong, he was juicing and not every one was juicing then. In the span of one season he went from 49 to 73 homeruns, then back down to numbers in the 40s and below. Pac Bell right field line is 309, Candlestick Park was 328 or 330.

For me, Ken Griffey Jr., was the best player of that era. Played clean too.

Bonds with no steroids was putting up numbers that guys on roids were putting up. Once he took it, he became a different beast. If you don't think everyone wasn't on it, I'm not sure what to say.

Have you ever been to that park? Have you watched games? There's no easy home runs hit there. In order to hit it on the 309 you literally have to hit it down the line, Bonds didn't have homeruns directly on the line just passing the 309 mark. His homers were bombs. If 309 is easy to hit homers, there should be a lot of other left handed hitters trying to play in San Francisco, but they don't go there.

Griffey Jr was great, a shame he didn't take steroids because he continued to get injured and completely fell off.

hitting the baseball is the hardest thing to do.

you don't hit home runs just because you took steroids. You need the SKILLS

Yeah, it's the amphetamines that increased a hitter's reaction time. That's why players from the era said they took them on their own or even at times had it put in their coffee pitchers. Teams had two separate pitchers then. One clean and one with uppers. That had more to do with averages and homers going down than less steroids.

Think about it this way my brotha


He was on the juice which his BBC became a SWC.



We won this battle comrade.



Inshallah.

Red - Improper use, chico.

[F l i c k e r]

The era of the juice.

look at the pitcher.

he was juiced out of his mind. Throwing enhanced pitches, the peak performance his body could generate even by abnormal means, and getting swatted like a mong.

Okay Siablo

Bonds was juiced to the gills, but you still need proper skill to hit the ball.

Is baseballs worth watching ?
