Barry Bonds may not be in the Baseball Hall of Fame as of right now.
As absurd as that is, we don’t necessarily need him in Cooperstown to know what an all-time baseball great he was, arguably the greatest hitter ever to lace up spikes, and a home-run hitter for the ages.
On Wednesday, there was one video going around that was a reminder just how dominant he was. Back in 1998, the Arizona Diamondbacks were up 8-6 on the San Francisco Giants. The bases were loaded and there was Bonds striding up to the plate. The slugger was in the middle of an amazing season, although not an MVP year by his standards.
