D-backs walk Bonds with the bases loaded

i get why people were mad..steroids with that work ethic and god given talent is unfair

He looks like the executioner when hes walking up with his bat😂

I’m A’s Fan but if Barry is getting walked Intentionally with the bases loaded, let’s you know how great he really is! He’s the Goat!!

I would have walked just about anyone to get to brent mayne.

“3Com Park” wow, time flies.

I’m kind of surprised this was pre-2001.

The ultimate respect

Fat Mexicans playing catch. Sport with the least amount of skill required.

Roided up

Baseball should have embraced Bonds. There was legit tension when he came up to bat.

It's so obviously the right move too

Growing up and watching Pujols in his prime, it felt like this every time he was hot lol

I think this is where analytics started?

Best hitter of all time

Brent Mayne should be very, very offended. Definitely not the highlight of his career, although it might have been the most memorable.

The graphic: Mark McGuife

I miss the 90s.

Is that Thom Brennaman announcing?

Mark McGwife

I was once saw his stat line adjusted had his intentional walks been cut in half. And the stats were crazy.

This is like folding trips to a flush draw in poker. Statistically, it's a dumb move. In reality, we all know that last spade ♠️ will hit the on the river, just like we know Bonds (probably) would have gone yard there.

Ah Mayne....

This is what GOATS are made of. Ppl who cry about Barry Bonds doing steroids are pendejo’s


Sosa/McGuire & every other slugger in the league was on em. Bonds had EVERY right to join the party


Also roods doesn’t improve you’re hitting… it only gives you more power


Everyone was scared of B.B (rightfully so). He was an absolute BEAST.


What a crazy ending this was😂 Fuc*ers really made the right decision even though they got really lucky buddy hit it right at the rIght fielder

This was before he got on the juice as well. Most feared player ever

Wow I remember watching this game live

But you got to walk for an Asian man in Los Angeles we're a sorry group

Soft

Thus was pre roids!

That’s why baseball can be boring

Erdman Green

NGL that was an absolute genius move to just give up a run while up 2 and taking your chances with the next guy, instead of letting the greatest power hitter EVER score 4 off a walkoff

Smart play go home with the win than risk going home with the loss.

I’d retire from baseball if I was Mayne immediately after this, how embarrassing

unbeilevable.

I love how the umpire just snaps his neck to look at Bonds' face lol

Most 1000IQ moment in baseball

If anyone doesn't think he deserved to be in HOF. Here you go

“Self proclaimed”

HOF voters treat ⚾️ fans like we don’t have 👀

We remember his greatness, his legend, HOF, no question, not even with an * next to his name.

This is what you call a monster at the plate. The respect shown to Bonds, they were saying, we know what you can do and want no part of it.

Not being HOF player is a crime. Who cares? Steroids? Idgaf. Period will never convince we have steroid influencers that couldnt hit a softball 20yds.

Just ask Chipper Jones about Barry. No one else was even close

If you hate Barry it tells me 3 things: 1) youre a dodgers fan 2) your a yankees fan 3) your an As fan

4) if you are correcting my spelling then you dont get it.

Rather give up a run than the game.

The crazy thing is it worked and they won

Hall of fame

Sequences like this one suggest it's a shame Bonds never won a WS. They take the bat out of his hand, what else can he do but watch a teammate NOT step up and produce.

who won this game too drunk to look it up

Baseball in the 90s was so fun to watch. The great players were consistently great year in and year out. There were so many of them too. That was probably as good as it is gonna get.

Imagine all those who live bet SF +1.5 before the start of the 9th, I'm sure the Sportsbook were in disbelief.

Non baseball people will never understand how insane this is
