Barry Bonds home run in Yankee Stadium appreciaton thread

[GatorStaceyAdams]

No one can deny that bonds was a pure hitter.

His swing is nearly identical to Ted Williams (consider the purest swing of all time).

Put that swing on someone with 230-240lbs of muscle? The results are simply

Teh only other person I saw uncoil around pitches like Bonds was Don Mattingly pre-back injury.

I was at the Stadium in the 80s as a youngin' and saw George Bell hit one a mile past that left center field ambulance they used to have out there.

GOAT Era of MLB in my lifetime I miss the steroid era.

Bonds pretty much saw these guys who werent on his level like McGwire,Sosa shyt even a Brady Anderson hit 50-60 HR's and said i'll show y'all what a GOAT can do on this shyt. I believe Canseco even told the story about how they had one of those HR Derby challenges in the early 00's and saw how ripped Canseco and some of the other guys were and said "what the fukk are you on"

From about 00-05 I haven't seen anyone dominate a sport like Bonds did outside of and Gretzky in Edmonton Bonds was a fukking machine. Sad people forget he should've already had 4 straight MVP's from 90-93 if not for them giving Pendleton the award in 91. Bonds was the fukking man and my favorite Giant ever even though they won 3 out of last 5 I still might have to put the 02 Giants as my favorite I really wanted to see Barry get his ring fukk Game 6 vs the Angels.
