Bonds in 4 | Baseball Bits

PATREON ME: https://www.patreon.com/foolishbaseball TWEET ME: https://twitter.com/FoolishBB How do you talk about Barry Bonds? It’s not as easy as you may think. Barry Bonds has his fair share of detractors, but also staunch devotees. I felt obligated to take a balanced approach that talks about the Barry Bonds steroid scandal and Barry Bonds PED connections via BALCO, as well as his amazing accomplishments. This episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, deals with 4 (four) plate appearances from Bonds. Just four at bats to describe his career. It just so happens that all four of these come during Barry Bonds Giants career in San Francisco, but I touch base on the Barry Bonds Pirates years as well. The first is the Barry Bonds intentional walk with the bases loaded, which allows me explore some crazy Barry Bonds IBB numbers. I also talk about Brent Mayne. #2 is the Bonds World Series home run off Troy Percival in the 2002 World Series. The third is the classic Barry Bonds vs Eric Gagne matchup. Bonds vs Gagne is an absolute classic, and it allows me to talk about Barry Bonds 2004 season and Eric Gagne 2003 season respectively. I then wrap up with Barry Bonds last game, and discuss how he was effectively blackballed by the league. It’s safe to say a Barry Bonds 2008 season would have been productive, and it would be a long time before Barry Bonds retires. Other topics mentioned include Bonds postseason woes, Bonds home run chases, and Bonds MVP awards. I hope you all enjoy!
