Trust me when I say this: you’re going to want to pull up a bowl of popcorn to watch this clip of two baseball legends talking about the chess game that was one at-bat in their storied careers.
Barry Bonds and Greg Maddux were given video from 1998 to talk about an at-bat in which the then-Braves pitcher and the Giants slugger faced off, and you must watch them discuss their approach. Maddux thought about which pitch he threw, then Bonds thought about what the ace would toss next, and then Maddux — in hindsight — knew that he made a mistake.
Just watch and enjoy:
4-time Cy Young Award winner. 355 wins. World Series champion. First ballot Hall of Famer.
