I see you guys have done a video about Ken Griffey Jr's best catches, but it would be cool to see something about his career as a whole. I'd consider him almost a perfect contrast to Bonds --one of the most popular and likeable players ever in the same era as Bonds and though he ended up as 7th on the all-time home run list, he did it without ever really being accused of the same steroid-use that hundreds of other players were accused of at the time.

In a book about baseball's best, I read a quote from one of Bonds' Giants teammates. He said that Bonds knew how he would be pitched to. He correctly predicted what the pitcher would throw for each pitch. Not only that, Bonds correctly predicted how the teammate would be pitched. Bonds unquestionably was a superstar and this book made the case that the only reason Babe Ruth is still the greatest performer in baseball history and that Bonds is Number Two is because of Ruth's history as a pitcher AND a hitter. Having said that, however, I have no respect for any player who juiced.

As an aside note; Barry Bonds came along right at the time that "all sports radio" exploded in the US. Went from just a couple of cities to every city in America having at least one 24 hour all sports radio station. I got caught up in it, but it wasn't long before all the talk, whether fans call in or radio personalities talking was nearly 100% about player controversies and the subjects would be the subject for days or weeks on end. Barry Bonds along with others was talked about all day long, people complaining and disagreeing it would never end. That is how I came to hate even the sound of his name... Other players were constant negative topics as well... including Pete Rose, Sammy Sousa, Mark Maguire and many others. it seemed to be the fodder that fed sports radio in those days. It has gotten a bit better now.

Andrew McCutchen a Pittsburgh Pirate played in Pittsburgh for years went to the Giants and got a standing ovation when he played his 1st game as a Giant in PNC Park the Pirates Ballpark and he has since returned to the Pirates. Mentioning this for perspective. After Bonds left in 92 when he returned he was booed. We went into a post season draught that lasted 21 years while he was hitting homers in San Francisco and I can guarantee you no one or at least very few Pittsburghers ever wanted him back.

I think you got the wrong idea about steroids not being an issue until Bonds was accused. There just wasn't any proof until that first article was printed. Then the floodgates opened up wide. There ended up being over 100 players involved, over the 8-10 year period. I hated Bonds as much as anyone. But, as far as I know, steroids don't increase vision. Without actually seeing him hitting those home runs, a person can't get a good grasp on what it's like to hit 73 home runs over a 161 game season. That's less than one home run for every 2 games. But, he hit them in bunches. By the end of the season, it felt natural to expect a home run at every at bat. It was amazing to watch, yet so frustrating to see.

@davidgoodman4208 8 ай бұрын

Yes and no. Guys were juicing throughout the decade, and the league turned a blind eye to it. Multiple MVP awards went out to guys who exhibit telltale signs of steroid use, and the press really didn't seem to want to look into it. During McGwire and Sosa's homer chase, the media was willing to ask McGwire about the andro in his locker, but extremely reticent to go further. I mean, no one thought Brady Anderson's 50 homer year was clear. It didn't really get treated as a national scandal until both Bonds and Clemens (two guys who were both all-time greats, but also huge jerks that everyone in baseball had long hated) made a mockery of the record books and aging curve.

Bonds didn’t need steroids to be great. But he needed them to be the best. And that’s the problem a lot of people have. Mid 30s and your HR total jumps from mid 30 to 60-70? He had like 500 career HRs already. He didn’t need to juice, but he did. And that’s why he’ll never make it to the HOF

Barry was a bona-fide jerk. The media didn’t paint him that way. Barry decided to be this way, and the media reported it. Barry was an unpleasant guy and deliberately tried to get people to dislike him. Blaming anybody but Barry for how he’s viewed is silly. Barry spent his whole career telling everyone he was a jerk.

Honestly there have been worser personalities than his in sports that still get all the praise in the world and still get into Hall of Fames, let's be real here. Like literally there have been much worse. Yes, he was a jerk and the media very much fueled on that, using any chance they could to get a rise out of him, so it doesn't make them look good either. Plus, when you possess as much talent as he did, it really doesn't matter if he was a jerk. Athletes don't get inducted into a Hall of Fame because of their personalities they get inducted because of their insane talent so he deserves to be in that Hall of Fame. in reality the reason why he's still viewed in a bad light is because hurt fans cannot seem to move tf on from the whole steroids thing and some hurt reporters can't move past him being a jerk to them. He seems to have worked to evolve and better himself as a person since then, so people need to seriously move on. For every negative thing people have said about him, there's always been a positive thing said, but people would rather focus on the negative ofc. People choose how they want to view him, it's really not his fault, if people would rather focus on the negative instead of the positive.

@bobculwell5375 8 ай бұрын

@@friendlyblckgirl The ballot for Hall of Fame voting does specify that personal character is to be considered when voting for players. People love to pretend that’s not there, but it absolutely is. All he had to do to reap the rewards he could have earned was to not be a jerk to everyone every day if his professional life. It was more important to him that he be just a real jerk to everyone. That’s certainly his right, but it’s also everyone else’s right to remember it and treat him exactly the way he demanded they treat him. Zero sorrow for what Barry did 100% to himself.

He joined the Prince William Pirates of the Carolina League and was named July 1985 Player of the Month for the league. In 1986, he played for the Hawaii Islanders of the Pacific Coast League until he got called up on Memorial Day. So he was in A+ ball for 1/2 a yr & AAA for 2 months. P.S. In the full-on irony dept., he graduated from Arizona State in 1986 with a degree in criminology. P.P.S. As a Sun Devil alum I wanted to root for him, but his personality just made it hard to do. I was in the Sosa-McGwire camp & unfortunately got fooled by them (as did many). Bonds was the Ty Cobb of the New Millenneum.

Damo, just to comment on your last statement, which was to the effect that steroids didn't become an issue until someone who was possibly the greatest player ever was doing them. That's not quite how it was. Steroids had absolutely been an issue, increasingly, since the mid-to-late 90s. McGwire and Palmeiro and Clemens were being grilled by the U.S. Congress while Bonds was still playing, on steroids, and setting home run records. Bonds just hadn't been found guilty of anything by a court or other governing body, so there was nothing to stop him from continuing to play. Overall, Bonds' legacy is a case of overlapping truths. Was he a greater player than anybody else of his time? Yes. Was he an asshole to teammates and reporters? Also yes. Did he also get treated unfairly by the media, and maybe others too, because he was an asshole? Yes again. Did he use PEDs? Absolutely. Would he have been a Hall of Fame level player even if he'd never used PEDs? Absolutely. Does he still to this day deny that he juiced, despite all the evidence? Yes, he does. Did he want to be loved and hailed by the public as the greatest player of his time? Yes. Was he, and is he, loved by the public? No, because he's never been lovable.

I think if Barry was a rookie in 2023, he would be treated completely differently. The press, teammates, coaches, etc., back then didn't like a talented, baseball royal-family, arrogant black man. Today, he'd be given more leeway. The "old school, baseball unwritten-rules" Andy Van Slykes would be silent. A 2023 rookie Barry Bonds would probably never feel the need to juice. I'm not a Bonds fan, but it's clear he was shit on most of his teen+ life. To see an interesting facet of Barry, you should watch the HBO documentary, "Say Hey, Willie Mays!" Besides a great overview of Mays, you see Barry throughout. I think he was around 5 years old when his dad was Willie's teammate. You see how he idolized Willie, and how both Willie and Barry's father, Bobby, influenced him growing up.

As a SF Giants fan, I can only speak to what I saw. Bonds was a Hall of Fame caliber player before he ever took steroids. Local fans adored him because of the brilliance of his play, but of course we didn't have to deal with him personally. We just got to watch him hit home runs, play excellent defense, and dominate games. I have mixed feelings about him because its not a simple case of being a bad guy. He was, and the steroids problem was real, but he also suffered from unfair press and became the emblem for the steroids problem when that could have been someone else (Mark McGuire, for instance). I think that saddest thing was that he took steroids to become the greatest when he could have skipped them and become one of the greatest without them.

Take away the PEDs and Bonds ends up with 500 HRs, on par with other power hitters of his era. Jim Thome, Frank Thomas and Miguel Cabrera are more impressive. They hit 500-600 HRs without juice.

Barry Bonds is the man. Only old traditionalists and the media hated him.

He’s definitely an acquired taste

Don't really have much sympathy for this guy and the media doesn't deserve any blame. When you get paid as much as them in what is still an entertainment industry, you do enter into a social contract to make your life subject to more scrutiny. And yes, I hate paparazzi and delving into entertainers' social lives is a step too far. This situation is different because he violated that contract while having no problems monetizing off his career and the subjects the media focused on were job-related issues and cheating related to what he was paid hundreds of millions of dollars for and tainting something that is a sacred institution for so many.

The one thing glossed over and washed in this analysis is the racism of the country and cultural racism of American baseball in his treatment. Every black player isn’t gonna bless you with grace like Jackie Robinson. Bonds was America’s attitude shown back to them.

People hate him because he's a cheater, a liar, and an asshole (not just to the media). Additionally, because he broke sacred records while cheating and being an asshole (Sosa and McGwire also did, but were generally nice guys who were beloved by fans and teammates. Not to mention that Bonds surpassed both of them so their records don't stand at the top anymore, which takes the target off of their backs).

That’s one of the problems though, people always tend to give hate to the more successful player. Lance Armstrong cheated and so did the next 20+ riders that finished behind him but no one cares that they cheated. Only focus on Armstrong lol. All these guys on steroids took away jobs from other players.

@jomardel Agreed, but if you're gonna cheat, you could at least not be an asshole while doing it.
