I periodically pray when the Giants are in the hunt for a playoff spot that if anything happens with the Fault, please don’t lay a finger on Oracle Park
Absolute great memories. Two decades of gold. Bonds hit 23 of 25 by 2003! 37 of 45 by the time he retired in 2008 and missed most of 2005 It took 16 years to go from 45 to 100.
As a o’s fan I feel great for you seeing that, wish you guys won that game instead of the second one so you guys could experience a splash shot and a victory.
Ugh, sad that I didn't get to witness the Barry Bonds era. I barely got into baseball in 2015 which means I also missed our most recent greatest era. But, 2023 is looking mighty fine with these 10 straight wins!!
@@happyseizure8941 Adding "in a row" is redundant and misleading. It implies Bonds hit 9 consecutive splash hit home runs, which he did not. There were other hits and home runs in between. He did hit the first 9 over a course of about 2 years though. If he had hit 2 splash hit hrs in consecutive at bats, THAT would be 2 in a row. Make sense?
When I first found out you could hit baseballs into the water in that park, I immediately thought of Baseball Simulator 1.000 for the NES where you can do the same. I SWEAR someone played the game and transferred the idea into real life.
There’s something about watching clips from 2008-2009 rn. There’s that optimistic mood that our greatest era will start very soon. After 2014 though it’s depressing
One of the things I love about Baseball. Other than maybe Cricket, you’ll be hard pressed to find a sport with unique stadium design/locations directly impacting the game experience.
FYI SFG UA-cam editor: at about 17:30, the video goes black and there is no sound for a while. Then there is the raw feed of Wade's trot, then nothing, then the sound and video come back to show a Yaz one-bouncer into the water. Lovely video though, lots of great moments.
McCovey Cove is one of the great landmarks in all of baseball. As soon as a left-handed power bat gets to the plate, all they're thinking of is "I want to hit one in the water so bad!" There have been many players that hit homers in the Cove, but one name stands out above the rest. BONDS! Whether he cheated or not, that man never let Giant fans or anyone who came to see him during that timeframe down, especially in the 2001 season and the 2002 playoffs. Even as an outsider, boy was he a treat to watch regardless of whether he was juiced up or not.
For some reason I thought there were far more of these. Then again, my young Cubs fan mind out here in Indiana following the rest of the league as a kid thought every home run Bonds hit in San Francisco landed in McCovey Cove.
Felipe Crespo will always be the answer to the trivia question: other than Barry Bonds, who was the first Giants player to hit a ball into McCovey Cove
Jeezus some of those Bonds HR were deep into Mcovey cove. That's a hard ballpark to hit bombs Barry made it look small. You can say he was juiced so were a lot of players in that ERA none of them made that stadium small.
Sometimes I forget just how far Bonds hit those balls into the cove. We will never see anything like that again. Glad to have been around for it
Why?
@@rustyshackelford4224cmon dude
@@rustyshackelford4224 because.
Don't see many hit out near right center like he did!
Agreed. So much nostalgia.
Putting the ballpark right next to the Bay was a genius decision

💀💀💀
@@Obaby58823 49ers should have put levi stadium in the candlestick location tho. It was a good piece of property
Same with a river. PNC park
@@hunterrunco6629 I wouldn’t be surprised if the Giants took inspiration from PNC Park when building their stadium
Didn’t realize this was just a Barry bonds home run compilation lol. This man was unbelievable
Seeing how far and deep bonds home runs are is crazy. he is hitting so far down the promenade almost to triples alley area.
PEDS will do that for a guy.
@@organicnectarhe was hitting bombs even with the pirates before PEDS
He didn't need any
@@organicnectar Fun Fact Barry hit like this before taking anything and also when nearly all hitters were juicing he still hit harder
1 35 Barry Bonds
2 10 Brandon Belt
3 8 Pablo Sandoval
T4 5 Denard Span
T4 5 Mike Yastrzemski
T4 5 Lamonte Wade Jr
My favorite will always be the one lamont wade jr hit over his mom head. You can see her celebrating with the fans
Hell yeah. I was watching that game and thought for sure it had to have been staged 😂
Never get tired of that patented Kuiper home run call
HE HITS IT HIGH HE HITS IT DDEEEP IT IS OUTTA HERE!
High Drive To Right, OVER THE WALL, IT IS OUTTA HERE!!! Into the water!
God damn those bonds shots gave me the chills. Reminds me of my childhood
Bonds 💣 💣 💣 💣 💣 💣 💣 💣
Absolute great memories. Two decades of gold.
Bonds hit 23 of 25 by 2003!
37 of 45 by the time he retired in 2008 and missed most of 2005
It took 16 years to go from 45 to 100.
the other 2 out of the first 25 were Crespo
23 years in total to get to 100 with a headstart to the next goal.
I love how the cove gives us one camera angle you don’t get at any other ballpark
Yo Denard Span was on a heater to the cove. That definitely surprised me 😂
I was there when LaMonte Wade got the 100 💦 hit!!!!
Marcus, I always assume you're at every home game! :)
I was also!
I was not !!!!
As a o’s fan I feel great for you seeing that, wish you guys won that game instead of the second one so you guys could experience a splash shot and a victory.
@@LaDingleberrySoapEaterIIAs an Os fan I can agree
Nothing better than hearing a disappointed vin scully
It is amazing to see all the balls go into the ocean!
The fact that I took over two decades to hit 100 and Barry had 25% of them in three years is insane
Ugh, sad that I didn't get to witness the Barry Bonds era. I barely got into baseball in 2015 which means I also missed our most recent greatest era. But, 2023 is looking mighty fine with these 10 straight wins!!
It was something else man. Forget the steroids stuff, you gotta be extremely talented to be able to barrel a ball with the consistency he did
this didn't age well lol
barry bonds was wild
Greatest hitter ever
Except He Was On Roids…So I Thing Hammering Hank Is The All Time Great, but Bonds is still good without roids
@@FranTheMan59Steroids doesn’t help with plate vision and discipline
Probably the only reason I have to visit San Francisco some day. What a ballpark!
Go San Francisco giants ⚾️
Editor forgot to clear the end of the timeline after 17:20 haha
The guy stealing the ball from the dog at 3:39 makes me sad haha 😢
For real. Pissed me off. Poor puppers 😓
Posey needs an honorable mention for the one off Buehler in 2021
Man he does but it didn’t splash but it was still impressive for a righty
It counts in my heart :)
Thank you so much for finally updating the video this is so awesome
Number1 and 100 all thatreally matter so Bonds and Wade Jr. Lfg.
In the beginning, I completely forgot this was a splash landing compilation and not a Barry bonds home run compilation.
I was thinking the same thing. When Felipe Crespo interrupts the flow it’s rather rude 😂
First opposing team Grand Slam was last night, August 14, 2024. McCovey Cove Dave snagged it. And good for him.
Dope video bruddah!
Ill never get over the reaction of Wade Jrs mom cheering for his splash hit. Somehow she knew it was coming her way and he sent it
💯 unbelievable 💦 hits.
I was at the game for splash hit 100, it was a cool piece of history to see. And everyone got 40% off at Levi's!
3:07 guy knew right where the camera was to flash that smile. So cool!
Felipe Crespo: “Barry Bonds and I combined to hit the first 27 splash hits.”
Yah and bonds had 26 of them
25
11:58 I feel so bad for the guy who was right next to it but had too much momentum to stop
Or the dog at 3:38 coming up short for that Barry one😢
Pretty cool the two players with the most splash hits have the same initials, BB.
Bonds and Belt.
Spoiler alert: Bonds has the first 9 in a row
He hit the first 9, but not in a row.
@@alvinpietzsch1534 he has the first 9 straight, hence 9 in a row
🐐
@@happyseizure8941 Adding "in a row" is redundant and misleading. It implies Bonds hit 9 consecutive splash hit home runs, which he did not. There were other hits and home runs in between.

What an honor this must be for a player
over a quarter of these from one man
I love the giants
BONDS SHOULD BE IN THE HALL OF FAME
There’s something about watching clips from 2008-2009 rn. There’s that optimistic mood that our greatest era will start very soon. After 2014 though it’s depressing
Would have been fun to see how many Will Clark would have hit.
The fact that the first 9 splash hits were all Barry Bonds is crazy
bonds hit 37 out of the 100 splash hits
@@fuhlash thats crazy
And then Felepe Crespo has two and hit 10 career home runs is one of my favorite things
Trivia to pass on. Klesko and Joc only players to splash with and against the Giants.
Giants Has The Best Stadium No doubt😅
So good
"He hits high he hits it deep outta here!" one of the greatest lines in sports history.
This video is already out of date!
Nice one Joc!
One of the things I love about Baseball. Other than maybe Cricket, you’ll be hard pressed to find a sport with unique stadium design/locations directly impacting the game experience.
Man, splash hits sure are pretty to watch.
I like how 18 of the first 20 were from barry
FYI SFG UA-cam editor: at about 17:30, the video goes black and there is no sound for a while. Then there is the raw feed of Wade's trot, then nothing, then the sound and video come back to show a Yaz one-bouncer into the water. Lovely video though, lots of great moments.
I know Bonds played at that ball park alot being on the Giants but hitting well over 33% of the Homeruns in the Cove is crazy!
3:36 HOW DO YOU TAKE THAT BALL AWAY FROM THE DOG. SHAME THAT MAN.
waiting for the day a righty goes oppo for a splash hit
Today!
Here’s something to make the landmark:
Barry Bonds for hitting the first one
Pablo Sandoval for hitting the 50 mark
Lamonte Wade Jr. for 100
bonds compilation

Felipe Crespo has 10 home runs in his career and two were splash hits. Gotta be one of the higher ratios of splash hits to career homers
glad to say i was there for the 99th one
Should have added Posey's final home run as a footnote.
Agree! Also they should tear down the pylon that ruined it as a warning to the other pylons.
That means Crawford could’ve gotten the 100th hit and Posey would’ve been the first righty Giant to hit on into the water 😭
And what you don't see is that the baseball players from opposing teams (rarely) hit a homerun over McCovey Cove roughly between 4-6!
Pretty sure there’s been more than that, like 55
Visiting teams have hit 55 splash home runs also!
35 out of first 42 was barry bonds. Crazy. This ballpark is designed for him
Mike Yastrzemskis Walk off a couple months back was so goddamn electric
I completely forgot this isn’t a Barry Bonds home run compilation 😭
Crazy the early days, the power boats aggressively chasing the balls.
CONGRATS TO MARK THE SHARK! And all the other ballhawks who have a splash hit!
"He hits it high, he hits it deep, out of here!!!"
The Cove was built for Bonds ! 😅 Crushed Em !
I didn’t realize how many Span hit
Wonder if they would have built the stadium in a different orientation if Bonds batted righty
He hits it high, he hits it deep….it is….outta here!!!😊
Whichever announcer mentions the cove of mccovey cove should posthumously be entered into the mlb hof. Iconic commentating
3:43 feels like a MLB the show storyline camera angle
No 31 was unreal.
16:36 Dave got it!
Best ballpark in the MLB.
the first few minutes are just barry bonds highlights lol
Someone forgot to trim off the end of the video.
2:53 nice
For some reason I thought there were far more of these. Then again, my young Cubs fan mind out here in Indiana following the rest of the league as a kid thought every home run Bonds hit in San Francisco landed in McCovey Cove.
What is the longest recorded distance into the cove?
Idk but it’s barry bonds.
Makes this even better is Duane Kuiper. Nothing like " Bonds hits it high, hits it deeeeep, it is Outtaaa here".
The percent of these hit by Barry Bonds is crazy
5:04 5:15 6:04
11:35 Nice
Yoo!!!
The💣hit by Bonds 🤯
Kuiper and Miller with the GOAT home run calls.
The house that Barry built.
If bonds never played for the giants this would’ve taken forever😂
No one will ever be as good as barry
Go giants
I now know that splash hit #5 happened on the day I was born
2:00 is the best
Felipe Crespo will always be the answer to the trivia question: other than Barry Bonds, who was the first Giants player to hit a ball into McCovey Cove
I’m great full to witnes a splash hit.
I’m a longtime giants fan and to me I always thought it was weak they didn’t count the opposing teams splash hits.
Why?
Bro what 😂
Why should they?
@@krisandres2011why shouldn't they?
