Barry Bonds

[Phaded]

bro think about competition they faced compared to the pitching that bonds faces.. not to mention bonds gets pitched to once out of every 4 at bats.. and still maintains a 352 batting average for the season.. whether or not he takes steroids he's still the best hitter ever..

 

[Spartacus]

with or without steroids bonds is the best hitter ever by far.. take competition in the ruth arron mays etc era.. and compare it to now.. its not even close..

I agree
what does he have now 7 MVPs?
incredible

lol i knew i posted that already somewhere in this thread..

bro i dont care if all 7 seasons came after he juiced he's still the best player of all time.. if you are gonna tell me ruth is better than bonds thats just ridiculous.. look at some footage of ruths fucking swing he doesn't even pivot on his back foot he picks it up shows how good of pitching they must have had if they couldn't fool him everytime he fucking hit..

16. Barry Bonds 30 1996
17. Barry Bonds 29 1998

Look at this chart, man. In '92, '93, '97, and '98 (before he started juicing) he registered more intentional walks than Babe Ruth, Roger Maris, Willie Mays, Tony Gwyn, Wade Boggs, or Hank Aaron ever did.

Not to mention 120 intentional walks in 2004. 120 intentional walks? Are you kidding me? That's just disgusting, I'm sorry...to put it in perspective, that's more than Frank Thomas, Cal Ripken, Rafael Palmeiro, Jeff Bagwell, Mark McGwire, Garry Sheffield, and Larry Walker had in their WHOLE CAREERS! If Bonds had gone hitless that year, his OBP would be .391, which would be good enough for 12th place in the league in front of Juan Pierre and Adrian Beltre. As it was, his OBP was .601. SIX-OH-ONE. You think 20 lbs of muscle brought all this on? You think a few injections gave him the hand-eye coordination and plate discipline needed to be the most feared hitter in the history of the game? You think some roids helped him read the pitch as soon as it came out of the pitchers hand? He must've been taking some magical roids, cuz they sure didn't help McGwire or Sosa in that respect.

Give the man some fucking respect. He's the best player of our era, maybe of all time. Live with it

I don't give a fuck if he juiced any year but last year, which is the first year that juicing was against the rules of MLB. Anyone who didn't juice before that is a fucking idiot...it was WITHIN THE RULES.

You must spread some Karma around before giving it to CrazyRussian again.

i knew this was gonna happen, the pressure is going to drive him to retirement. whether he's breaks the record or not, he'll never get the recognition.
