Barry Bonds 754 Home Run + Michael Jordan Message

[niksinthe916]

People want to talk about everything being fair. Go tell that to Willie Mays who played in the worst ballpark to hit HR's in, in the history of the game!!! AND STILL had 660HR Put Hank Aaron in a Giants uniform at candalstick park in the 60s win harsh wind swept in from the bay and he's a 500HR hitter IF THAT mays on the other hand would have had over 800 in a Braves uniform!!!!

[niksinthe916]

It really doesn't matter to me weather Barry Bonds took steroids he's still a top 5 player and is the greatest modern day baseball player. Before and after steroids. No person put fear into a pitcher the way Bonds did. Pujols,Howard,Sosa,Mcgwire. Pujols you can make a mistake and sometimes get away with it. NOT BARRY!!!! It's gone!!!

[xPureDeth]

I'm pretty sure that's Hank Aaron...

[skywalker71903]

STEROIDS=BONDS

[PapiFilms]

HANK AARON NEVER POPED UP this wasnt his record home run

[NotoriousDubz]

Actually he still is a great hitter without steroids...Look at his stats...He was a great player before taking performance enhancing drugs...He has all the stats that all of the other players that took steriods DONT....

[ohwello]

it's not fair, all he has to do is make solid contact and the ball is going 400 feet. yes he's got great mechanics but without the steroids he'd just be another good hitter. not the best.

[Brianbellusci]

@ohwello he was a hall of famer before the juice so get that good hitter shiot outta here

[ohwello]

@Brianbellusci i personally don't give a shit about his other stats. the record for most homeruns wouldn't be his without the juice. it's ridiculously hard to hit that many homeruns without some sort of an advantage. barry bonds simply had an unfair advantage.

[shady831]

greatest HOMERUN hitter ever, like it or now Number 1 on the list hahahaa

[jkendall904]

steroids dont hit homeruns,, thats all i gotta say,there was fuckers bigger then him, frank thomas, mark mcguire,,etc,,, to be honest, hitting the ball precisely on the spot with a good swing,,its a home run

[lakers549]

hank aaron is my home run champ

[AndyITALY07]

cheater

[bobastew530]

I HATE BONDS !!!!..hes a shit head of a person but he is the king of homeruns..the steriods did help him hit those homeruns but u cant take i away from the guy ..it wasnt the steriods that had perfect timing on the ball ..the only diffrence that the steriods wouldnt have made was that the balls wouldnt have landed in the fuckin bay everytime lol

[Brianbellusci]

@bobastew530 yes the steroids helped him but it also helped the pitchers he was facing that were also using them, you can't blame him alone for something the entire league was doin, you dumbshit

[bobastew530]

@Brianbellusci woahhh easy tough guy relax ur defending someone who wouldnt spit in the same direction as u ... it helped the ptchers ?? what pitchers broke records on steriods or were even accused of steriods ? im just saying if hes doing them whatever but dont flaunt around like you're the best ..can u imagine if mickey mantle , roger maris , ted williams , hank aaron ,, or even babe ruth were on steriods .. what dignity would be left ?

[Brianbellusci]

@bobastew530 You clearly know nothing about baseball, Bonds hit 755 of clay hensly who had been suspended earlier in the year for PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS. What pitchers broke records on steroids? How about Roger Clemens, you shouldn't even argue when you have such little knowledge of the game.

[jphizzal]

@Brianbellusci agreed steriods dont help u hit homeruns.... it can help how hard u hit a ball... but not inhance your chance of hitting the ball at the right angle and when to swing and where to hit it..... it can only improve nat speed an power .... but not your eye or your batting knowledge.... all u dumbfucks critisice but dont know shit... if the man was on steriod so what the fuck matters...he still had hella bases on balls and steriods cant help u intice walks

[Brianbellusci]

@jphizzal I'm on your side man, I think Barry was the best to ever play the game, his on base was rediculous. For all of those that know about advanced baseball stats, Barry's WAR or wins above replacement also is among the greatest ever. He probably wouldn't have hit as many homeruns without the juice but that doesn't take away from his other accomplishments, the only thing that is negative is he never won a championship.

[APBTerriers]

@Brianbellusci If Barry Bonds doesn't take steroids he's a top 3-4 Baseball player of all time.

[Brianbellusci]

@APBTerriers Thats a pretty bold statement but I somewhat agree, he's prolly the best player ever even with the juice. Not sure why this was a reply to me tho

[APBTerriers]

@Brianbellusci Because you brought up his stats. Before he took steroids he was the best at drawing walks already. He could steal bases, get on bases, hit home runs, play defense. Without steroids I think he wold have been considered the best 5 tool player of all time.

[triofdoom]

Bonds is the HR King and deep down everyone knows how great he truly was. None of the other j'juicers" can even compare. Jordan, the greatest in his sport and acknowledge who the best is in a game he desperately tried to play.

[quis974]

was he convicted i dont think so and babe ruth could have been on roids who knows what was out then and r all of ruths home runs on docs i havent seen them so u dont know bonds is the king of the homerun deal with it

[mhn9baller]

Why does everyone think Barry Bonds is guilty of taking steroids. He is as clean as my white laundry after I clean it with Clorox bleach. People need to face the fact that he is the all-time home run king!! No one will be as great as Barry Bonds!!

[rusty1859]

Everyone thinks he took roids because his body suddently grew abnormally. His statistics also suddenly improved dramatically. He's a SHAM and the all time ASSHOLE KING.

[mondopark]

Michael Jordan wishes he could play baseball, oh well I guess basketball will do

[TroopForcer]

He's a CHEATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bcherefosho]

i love how no one talks about barry anymore

[legitskittles]

Barry Bond is amazing. I was at that.

[7thairsoft]

pleiotropicaction... you obviously know nothing about the history of baseball.. studies hav been done throughout the years, and it has been proven many times that the pitchers from the early days could in fact throw 100mph.. bob feller for example, could throw extremly hard, and do you think that breaking pitches and off speed pitches were invented in the 80s? you need to get your facts straight before you go saying, there was no slider/changeup/forkball. bonds is not better than ruth in any way

[pleiotropicaction]

babe ruth was hitting at a time when nobody can throw 100 mph fastball, no slider, no folk, no changeup. so i am 100 percent sure that Bonds is better than Ruth.

[mj2345michaeljordan]

r u on crack. that time in baseball was dominated by pitching. thats why it called the dead ball era. one year babe ruth hit more homeruns than the rest of the entire league. guys won 35 games a year. thats what made babe ruth so great. and yes they could throw 100 mph, a changeup is just a slow fastball, of course they could throw that, and whats a folk?did you mean keith foulke, cuse he was pretty good. punished in 04.

[kings84]

Im pretty sure you are on crack. The dead ball era was over by the time Babe Ruth played the OF. He did pitch in the dead ball era, but he was hitting Homers in the 20's mainly.

[mj2345michaeljordan]

in 1919 he hit 29 home runs. the rest of is team hit 4. do you think that would ever happen today.the ballparks were far larger. left center at yankee stadium was 500 feet. the polo grounds was 483 feet to center.

[pleiotropicaction]

Just as no one has ever ran faster than 10second until 1983, no one has ever thrown 100 mph until Nolan Ryan. No one has ever thrown slider until 1940's. So baseball, just as any other sports, can only get better. Babe Ruth was outstanding at a time when average players are way smaller than now. The baseball has significantly advanced from his time and become a lot more competitive. So to say that Ruth was greater than Bonds is like to say Jesse Owen was faster than Usain Bolt.

[mj2345michaeljordan]

um you cant run faster than 10second,that doesnt make any sense.and you dont know if anyone ever threw 100 mph.i dont think they had radar guns 100 years ago.and babe ruth is better than barry bonds because bonds is a cheater. and never ever compare jesse owens to usain bolt. jesse owens, a black man, went into nazi germany and won 4 gold medals. he made hitler stand and watch his "supperior race" lose to a black man.thats like comparing jackie robinson to chase utley.

[BARGAIN02]

guys won 35 games a year because they pitched every 2 days imagine what their arms looked like haha

[mj2345michaeljordan]

yeah imagine if in like 50 years we have like a 8 or 9 man rotation.some teams have already started talking about a 6 man rotation. which is why after randy johnson we may not see a 300 game winner for a long long time.

[macdrejug]

BARRY BONDS BITCH...

[YANKEESFTW16]

And also I can't believe a True Champion like Michael Jordan would have congratulated Barry. Basically he was congratulating Barry of taking steroids.

[YANKEESFTW16]

Ruth played with center field 450 and left and right around 430 in his time, so every single one of his shots were a BOMB, so if you think barry bonds is really good, and you don't think he took steriods, go SUCK one.

"Ruth did it on Hotdogs and Beer." What did you do it on Barry????

[coronachilla]

im a yankee fan too but bro...Babe was a lefty...the left field wall in Yankee stadium TODAY is about 300ft..his time shorter...lol so yea but still Babe Ruth did hit his 714 homeruns in less at bats than Barry Bonds and Hank Aaron...so he is the true home run king forever...till A ROD lol

[Dudemon3]

A-Rod has never changed his size, Pujols and Fielder has always been big. Fielder's dad was huge. Frank Thomas was always huge, Jim Thome same thing.

[euskaldanak]

a part of baseball has died without barry. It's not the same anymore watching the game. & why isn't a rod suspected of steroids he has gotten bigger and pujols has already gone bald? why do people use barry as the scapegoat and say hes a bad guy. I have met him and his son & nikolai is going to be the same size. Have you people ever heard of fast metabolism? Just because he wears baggy clothes and his metablolism has slowed down doesn't mean he cheated. he has never failed a drug test.

[evh5150316]

His slugging percentage went higher as he got older.

His hat size changed in his late 40s.

His everage went from .280 to about .340.

That just statistically doesn't happen as your getting older.

Nobody is saying that Bonds is not one of the greatest ever...but unfortunately he did take performance enhancing drugs.

And allegedly at the time he took them...it wasn't illegal...so why would he lie even if he DID take them.

[sfgiantsPOSEY28]

@evh5150316 i agree with u, but almost every1 in da league takes steriods now!!!

[talent1o1]

damn i miss barry. i dont care if hes with the giants or some other team i rather see him play. baseball not the same without him

[030609114]

Jordan, the Greatest Of All Time! Period

[SilverBullet22250]

Mike,it's called being a ball hog.When he has more points than the entire rest of the team combined is proof as well as having no confidence in your teammates.And I can assure you as much as night follows day,one of his goals in basketball would be scoring more points than Jordan and everyone else excluding WC.That's someting that will definately put you in the history book with Jordan,Magic,and Bird to name a few.

[frasermclaren]

shocked that mike would do that for a cheater

[A4Lito]

i know nothing bout baseball or bonds, what did he do to cheat, am curious?

[beebhoy]

drugs

[runeant]

he took steroids but most of mlb is so it doesnt matter

[iadevaia]

im a mets fan. but i like barry bonds

[undercoverfilmer00v]

LMAO @ "edited for content". More like "edited for ball-ommission". Wrong side of center field dude.

On the other hand, nice job on getting the ball flip after the message.

[Akit317]

Thanks. It's a little hard to keep one eye on the camera and the other to chase the ball.

As for the "edited for content," the video would be more like five minutes total if I included the five pitches before the home run.

[undercoverfilmer00v]

Yeah, definately. In the daytime it gets totally lost in front of the light blue water. And it looks like as soon as you went up there, the camera's autoexposure went freaky crazy and whited everything out. Really the only spot where it's clearly visible is between the water and crowd. So if you don't pick up where it's going before it leaves the field, it's near impossible. That's why you have to look as soon as you hear the contact point.

[gumpnatlien1]

even michael recognizes greatness!!!

[s225hi]

Yea, I am sure fat Babe Ruth is better than Barry Bonds.  Black athletes rule. There about 20 black baseball players right now that are better than Ruth.

[aeiou99999]

No point doing that. Ruth was great for his time. In any case, Bonds broke Aaron's record. There are a lot of good power hitters of all colors.

[KICKERTW69]

no he didn't Aaron is the best. Bonds had to have steriods. Ruth is the best ever. wanna know why? he played when the ball was heavier and didn't go as far.

[shat24]

dude 95 of ruths hrs were ground rule doubles bc he played when ground rule doubles counted as hrs and i agree bonds wouldnt hav broke the record with out roids but he wouldve hit 700

[KICKERTW69]

no he would reached like 550 maybe because he was a little bit bigger than Marcus Giles before he took steriods

[aztec86]

I was there. YES!

[BondsHatersSuck]

YUP I was THERE GO BARRY!!!

[h7dunc]

Great job Barry 8-7-2007 8:53 PDT.

[chinesemonkeyman]

HE JUST BROKE DA RECORD

[richo1690]

go barry your the best ever!

[BondsHatersSuck]

You can even see barry smiling there at the end.

[BondsHatersSuck]

WOW that's AWESOME thanks man I was looking for this, the JORDAN message, awesome thanks!! GREAT VIDEO BTW!

[robeeaqu1no]

I WAS THERE!

[Akit317]

Tickets for Monday's night game at AT&T Park against the Nationals is totally sold out. If you are one of the lucky ones to yank it off a broker like Stubhub or the Giants "Double Play" ticket window, get ready to dish out a lot of money. Example: a $10 ticket is being sold for $50.

[BondsHatersSuck]

yeah i made sure to buy tickets for all 7 games this week, against the Nats and pirates, two weeks ago after the last game against FLA, and there were a lot of good ones relatively cheap like row 00s in view reserved at face value so i was lucky, but yeah right now they are pretty high.

[oakvillebaseball24]

He's no HR king yet. He still has to get 756 to become the king. He went like 2 for 15 after 754. It will be awhile until he gets 756.

[hoganslegond]

I dunno.. he's probably really pumped right now (not from roids) but do to the overwhelming fact that he is going to break the record, I bet he hits it in the next game or two, but only time can tell that..

[hoganslegond]

guess i was right btw

[hoganslegond]

IHe hit 755 just now.. i hope i am watching when he beats the record.. so cry all you want pussies! Bonds is the HOME RUN KING, learn to except it.

[xGuaPingSx]

its "accept" btw not except... and yeah bonds FTW!

[hoganslegond]

oh well

[Jesarie27]

Ahahaha...yeah Oh well

[ampena77]

HE JUST HIT 755!!!!!!!!!!!

[Madmetal24]

BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY

[RedmenBasketball]

even if he was on steroids..i dunno the exact numbers and im now tryin to sound smart but like 47% of people in a survey were rooting against him to not break this record...but 56% of that group that said they didnt want him to break it still said it would be an accomplishment no matter what

[ndavido23]

BONDS IS CLOSE TO 756

[hoopinado]

wow..lucky! i'm going to the game on august 14th..giants vs miluakee..if we're lucky bonds will wait for us lol.

[davicitoytaiana]

we're not worthy!

[Akit317]

Just a quick note, don't forget to watch a special guest on the video at 1:45!

[thebreakdown1]

yeah

[coryleblanc99]

who did barry hit it off of

[Akit317]

Checking from the video (when it briefly passes by the scoreboard), it is Vanden-Hurk.

[phoenix11502]

Yay! Go Barry! Go Giants!

[Medic83301]

BARRY ! BARRY ! BARRY ! BARRY ! :)
