It's better to swallow your pride and win 8-7 than to pitch to him and lose 10-8.
*11
No, 10 is correct, they have 6 runs when the bases were loaded
Thanks, Danny. I guess Ed thought Bonds was going to hit a Super-duper grand slam. You know; the one worth 5 runs.
crimdell Agreed you think teams will learn this by now with Bryce Harper. The other night The Nats had the bases loaded and the braves pitched to him. Boom grand slam 6-2. I was like walk him. It's better being down one with two outs then down four.
Key word in that sentence is "WIN".
Buck didn't pitch to him with the bases full........but he won the game.
One of the most underrated moments in sports history.
PEDs or no PEDs, Bonds was the greatest hitter of the generation. So glad I got to watch him play throughout my childhood.
Ped's he's the best no peds is Griffey Jr
@@EnochByrd slightly better than Griffey jr, you gotta remember he was the most feared hitter, he would’ve gotten 3 at least, maybe even 3.5 thousand hits if he got walked as much as junior did, but everything else is identical to ken Griffey jr, he’s the definition of a legend.
@@EnochByrd it’s close between the two but comparing the two in their primes I still give the edge to Bonds.
@@TheABelGuitar I would, too. From 1986-1998 (i.e. before he took steroids), Bonds had accumulated about 100 WAR. Griffey retired somewhere in the 80s. Bonds was one of the best home run hitters of his generation, was consistently the best at getting on base, was a great defender, and even retired in the top 35 of stolen bases. Junior was an amazing player in his own right but didn't have Bonds' consistency of greatness.
Best hitter of all time. Period.
I like the one annonucer at least being honest about the hypocrisy of spectators analyzing a managers decision.
😂😂
Steve Lyons always did that. After Steve Bartman got death threats he circled 15 other fans going for the ball too before Game 7.
He only had 387 career HR at the time of this at-bat, which came during his 1,795th career game. He was already a 3-time MVP and 7-time All-Star. He hit 375 HR over the remaining 1,191 games of his career, with four more MVPs and 7 more All-Star appearances.
Wait, so his home run rate _substantially increased_ over the final third of his career? That’s not natural
@@afridgetoofar1818 yeah its called steroids lol
@@alphaxiro3845 Putting it like that is not telling the true story of what steroids do. They didn't make Bonds a better player. They just allowed him to be this version of himself longer.
@@brianwillis8447 Yeah of course but its still not natural lol.
HOF numbers pre-steroids
PEDs aside, just goes to show you how feared a hitter Bonds was when a team intentionally WALKS him with bases loaded to avoid him hitting a grand slam lol, can't blame em
+ERIK Candelaria This was before Bonds took steroids. His last clean season (98) was better than Trout's MVP season in 2014. If you look at Bonds' 93 season, it was better than Harper's 2015 season.
+Scott N Good comment. If you erased the unearthly 00-04 seasons and have Bonds' career end after the 98 season, he would still be a top 20 alltime player.
Probably top ten all time position player based on his preroid numbers (1986-1998).
+ERIK Candelaria Not to mention putting the tying run at 3B in the bottom of the 9th inning.
+Scott N not to sound ignorant, but do we know that he wasn't steroiding before 98? bonds fan
That Look on Bonds Face When realized they are gonna walk him
That look is priceless LOL
I would have laughed so hard if Mayne had hit that out of the park
He couldn’t do it mayne.
@Rusty Shackleford
Damn Mayne
I think they would've been okay with that. They just didn't want Bonds doing it.
@@rockabillylaker
Does that make any sense?
@@dreadiejaquan9240It does. The whole philosophy of the intentional walk is to make the next batter to punish you. You usually int walk the best batter in the lineup because chances are he's going to burn you a lot more often than the guy behind him.
Giants from 1997-2004 were great and so fun to watch
Bonds face was like “im not even mad, thats amazing”
Time stamp, please!
@@v4v8190:37
That's the ultimate sign of respect/fear for a hitter!
An old joke goes, "That guy was so good that they always walked him--even in batting practice."
is that a Yogi-ism?
@@Drizzt_Do_Entreri No, I read it in Mad magazine when I was a kid 😀
@@jpsned ha ok. thanks for the reply!
Barry bonds was walked in the home run derby- look it up
@@Drizzt_Do_Entreri You're welcome! 🙂
Not a bad move, even if it doesn't work out, and in all six instances this occurred the pitching team won. At least here it's with one of the greatest hitters ever and what might be Mayne’s career highlight (no disrespect to him, most players would've looked like a nobody in this situation).
+Ugly Ass (Nigga) Yep. Dbacks won
Can't forget the asterisk next to the "Greatest hitter ever"
+Young_Sav_Alex steroids has never and will never help hitting homeruns. You give a baseball bat to Hulk Hogan and pitch to him a thousand times, he will not hit one homerun.
Tim S So, you're telling me a stick figure with no arms can hit 60 home runs a season?
+Tim S
That's so ridiculous !! Of course steroids helps you hit.
Think about it, bases loaded with 2 outs, basically any hit other than a home run will be a force out or catch somewhere, may as well get rid of the guy most likely to hit a home run.
Yeah its strangely the best strategy. It just feels off to give the opposing team a free run
@@williambrennan1658 What feels off is how you're even allowed to intentionally walk players at all. That's just asinine. If batters aren't allowed to choose their pitchers, pitchers should not be allowed to choose their batters.
Idc what he was on when he was playing, he’s the greatest baseball player ever
@Lighthouse in the Storm Ruth also used PEDs lol. Either way there’s no actual asterisk, it just exists in the minds of salty baseball fans
He was so locked in
Respect to one of the greatest hitter ever combined with the best strategy. Better win than to lose.
this is one of the greatest moments in sports history. this was historical
In this situation it TOTALLY makes sense. The 7th run is meaningless. It's two outs in the bottom of the 9th. There's no where else to put Bonds but to walk him and sacrifice a meaningless run. It's no different than if it were a man on third and no one out and the infield plays back to concede a run for an out.
That 7th run really wasn’t meaningless though….
After waking him all the Giants needed was a base hit to win the game. Where Barry would have only tied it with a base hit
They were so damn scared of him. There will never be another Barry Bonds
THE ULTIMATE RESPECT!
NO WORDS NEEDED
1:19 MARK MCGWIFE
+John Noonan they met to press "r", but pressed "f" by mistake.
😁😁😁 I'm sure somebody was called to carpet for that typo.
+Darkkefka *MEANT
+CookieMachine They spelled it like that intentionally so that it would sound like "McQueef".
He probably too so many steroids that his balls fell off, so that might be an accurate name
The shock face at 0:38 is meme gold.
"HOW COULD YOU..."
This game must have really irritated the Giants since they would go on to win each of their next 11 games.
Think how crazy the consequences of Buck's strategy were: if the IBB fails and Giants win the game, then they win the '98 Wild Card outright rather than losing to the Cubs in the one-game playoff!
Gotta love baseball!
Go Cubs!!
Or if bonds hit a walk off grand slam. This was the right move
This was a May game. I don’t think either team was focused on the playoffs at this point.
Wait guy above says it was a May game. Are you a liar or is he?
@@805fillmore game was 5/28/98. It says in the description box.
what a great workout routine bonds had that offseason. in 99 he got huge
Buck made the right move here which is a criminally underrated coaching move. They had a run to give.
Greatest baseball player of the 80s,90s....greatest hitter of the 2000s. The greatest baseball player of all time in my opinion...never seen pitchers fear/respect a hitter like he was...griffey had the sweetest swing but Bonds was that guy.
AGREE 100000000%
80’s? Lol nah
Most feared hitter ever.... give him some more official ABs and he would shatter the record books even more than he has
So give him some more at-bats and he would have had more hits? What an amazing revelation, you are wise beyond your years
@@kidzbop38isstraightfire92he was really close to a couple more milestones
I would rather give up 1 run instead of 4
had this ever happen before that is crazy
It hadn't happened since the 1940s.
From Wikipedia: "In the history of Major League Baseball, six players have been issued intentional walks with the bases loaded (thus giving the batting team an automatic run). This is only done in the rarest of cases, typically when the pitching team is leading by four runs or less late in the game and a particularly feared hitter is at the plate. The six players given such passes are Abner Dalrymple (1881), Nap Lajoie (1901), Del Bissonette (1928), Bill Nicholson (1944), Barry Bonds (1998), and Josh Hamilton (2008). In all six cases, the pitching team went on to win the game."
People can go "cheater" all day, but the truth is that Barry Bonds was one of the greatest hitters who ever lived. Period.
The best. Who's better?
One of?
@@harminderjitgill571 the babe
@@danielj5650 Not even close. He couldn't even see the pitches Bonds had to hit.
@Ammon Moshe Guerrero was a bette batter than Bonds.
Who’s here after Corey Seager got intentionally walked with the bases loaded?
Ultimate disrespect to Brent Mayne. Probably correct strategy, though.
Hindsight
Lmao not probably it was
Not really, more about bonds and not letting the greatest hitter of all time boot it out the park and lose on a grand slam
Disrespect? That’s called not pitching to the greatest baseball player of all time in his prime. FOH with that take, no disrespect to you Blah Playhard.
Ultimate disrespect would be to intentionally walk a pitcher to get to Mayne
He was that good of a hitter, not just a homerun monster
Exactly. His hitting ability is so overlooked. The infield shift totally supports this.
OBP was out of sight, a no brainer
OBP was out of sight, a no brainer
Wow, ultimate respect.. and this is skinny Barry, for all of you haters!!
Fr this was bonda before he could pick up a semi truck imagine early 2000s barry they would of walked him before coming out og the dugout
And to this day Buck Showalter not only manages but continues to kill it in MLB.
Buc is a horrible manager I hate that he’s managing the Mets
GREAT call bonds is not to be fucked with especially in that situation.
“ hey it’s Barry coming up next “
“ Hey you know the drill walk that bastard. Think he’s about to get his 2184th home run on me? Yeah right “
Managers were so scared of facing Bonds that they would intentionally walk him with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th with a miniscule 2-run lead lmao that’s crazy to think about
I luv Bonds but that was a great move by Showalter, even if Maynes had hit a grand slam. Respect!!
They walked Barry Bonds at the Home Run Derby.
"Self proclaimed best of his generation..." Proceeds to get intentionally walked with bases loaded.
people he was 400-400, 3 time mvp, gold glove machine BEFORE STEROIDS. Barry is a hall of famer.
Before steroids??? They were using in the 80's and prob 70's.. it's been around that long maybe longer and u can tell he was slowly getting bigger each year from pirate days so yes he was using before that..no question
@MANCHESTER UNITED Barry bonds OWNED the pitchers of his era... like total ownership lol
@@bw536 it that's case then everyone was on them then. punish him?
@@bw536 What you have no proof your making false claims based on your knowledge.
@MANCHESTER UNITED 15 actually that's what u said last time.
Crazy thing is, this wasn't even Bonds most dominant years.
Yeah, it was one of his ho-hum 8.1 WAR, 178 OPS+ seasons, a step down from his first three MVP seasons. Almost anyone else would kill for a season like that.
Best player of my generation!
@@Penny_Wolf they were all on PEDs, so it doesn't matter 😅😂😂
@@Yyyyzyyy Barry Bonds was the best of my generation
That’s the definition of putting fear in the hearts of pitchers and managers 💯💯💯 no higher form of respect 💪🏻
That was three seasons prior to his 73 HR season
Just shows the genius of Buck Showalter and why he truly was a great manager. He.knew how to make crucial decisions in very important game situations such as this. Brilliant move by Buck
All the IBB's were a combination of 1. Bonds being the greatest player of all time..2. No protection in the order....Would he have been walked with Lou Gehrig on deck, or even Manny Ramirez
Kent got to play behind him and won the MVP because of Barry
I remember the rubber chickens the SF crowd would wave whenever Bonds was intentionally walked lmao
Gotta walk the greatest hitter of all time in that situation lol. Right decision
Results matter and Arizona won the game by 1 run lol. So the manager was right and the booing fans were wrong and took the L
I am Barry Bonds = IBB
Ahh great memories from my childhood.
Can't be mad at Mayne he actually made good contact.
1:22 they misspelled Mark McGwire! Hahahhahah Mcgwife!!!
What a bold decision. Payoff is probably the highlight of his career
Or the 3 manager of the year awards lol
I meant the pitcher
Mayne has to feel like shit. He has to tell his grandkids that he was the guy Arizona wanted to get to by walking a guy intentionally with the bases loaded.
But it was still the right move. Every time there was an intentional walk with bases loaded the team issuing the walk wrong. Imagine if he DIDN'T win😂
not just a guy but Barry Bonds, so not that insulting
He has to tell his grandkids about playing in the big leagues
I was a huge baseball fan growing up. I never played Little League but I was at the ball park every afternoon and all day on Saturday shagging foul balls so I could trade them in for Sno Cones at the snack bar. On Opening Day I was always first in line for the pancake breakfast. When I could get my dad to give me a few bucks I'd get a cheeseburger, Coke, a few Jolly Rancher sticks and a pack of Big League Chew from the snack bar and I felt like a king. Each summer I'd watch the Cubs play on WGN and the Braves play on WTBS just about every day. Once Michael Jordan became Air Jordan I was completely focused on basketball and lost almost all interest in baseball. In 1998 I was living in San Diego and I went to my first MLB game. I was surprised the game hadn't changed in the years I was exclusively following basketball. I immediately fell in love with baseball all over again. I think I ended up going to about 15 Padres game that year. At one point over four days I saw Livan Hernandez (the year after he was World Series MVP), Greg Maddux (NL ERA leader and Gold Glove), Tom Glavine (Cy Young winner), Kevin Brown (right before he became the first $100M player), Andy Ashby (the year he threw a 75 pitch complete game), and Trevor Hoffman (41 consecutive saves and Reliever of the Year) all pitch. The Thursday game was a day game and I decided I wanted to go the night before so I could see Glavine pitch. It was too late to request leave and I remember telling my Chief Petty Officer that morning I needed a half day of liberty but I couldn't say why. To my surprise he let me go, no questions asked. That was the only time in my six years in the Navy anyone ever threw me a bone. Thanks, Chief!!! I still have the ticket stubs for those games. Throw in Bonds getting intentionally walked, bottom of the 9th, bases loaded, with the tying run on second, Kerry Wood's 20K game, David Wells' perfect game, the McGwire - Sosa home run race, the Padres going to the World Series, Jordan getting his sixth ring and the Super Bowl being in San Diego, and 1998 was easily the greatest year of my life as a sports fan.
Buck is such a gamer, hahah
CNep99 this was before analytics, but he basically said fuck analytics.
not even on steroids here, and getting IBBs with the bases loaded. greatest player of his generation
+ftghb pre roids, most homeruns rbis run scored in the 90s, beast...
Benjamin Cotter nah like 2000 is when he started going all roidey
Benjamin Cotter No, steroids have been around since the 70's. But I think it's pretty obvious when Barry was juicing and when he wasn't.
He wasn't packing 30 extra lbs of muscle, he still stole tons of bases, played gold glove defense, his slugging % didn't jump 200 points and he wasn't blasting 50+ HRs every year.
And the last year this happened? 1998.
Benjamin Cotter from article:
"Winstrol "eliminated the pain and fatigue of training," the excerpt says, allowing Bonds to relentlessly lift weights at World Gym in Burlingame in the months before the 1999 season.
Bonds added 15 pounds of solid muscle that off-season, going from 210 pounds to 225, and enjoyed standing in front of a mirror and laughing as he asked, "How do I look?"
When Bonds arrived at spring training in Scottsdale, Ariz., in 1999, the excerpt says, those around the Giants began calling him "the Incredible Hulk."
+ftghb if you know anything about steroids you know some benefits are greatly exaggerated not trying to argue whether or not it was justified for him to take them, very talented player none the less but in most instances winstrol is a more painful drug, furthermore it was originally created for the use of females, honestly it shocks me some of the stuff baseball players take, I believe bonds also took testosterone e, which makes more sense but this being said many players who have tested positive were not taking drugs to truley maximize there skills halotestin, anadrol, trenbalone would all be much more effective
The greatest form of respect in the history of baseball. Bonds was the best.
Best offensive player of all times
most badass thing i've ever seen in baseball
How are the 11 fans in attendance booing that loudly?
Wdym 11 fans there was WAYYYYYY MORE THAN 11 PEOPLE
GalaxyGaming1324 13?
GalaxyGaming1324 Yeah, dude, there’s gotta be at least 16 people there!
MarlonBitoy why
MarlonBitoy bruh in the first clip you can see like 140 people I can’t tell but something like that
Lol I love the sigh of relief from the Right Fielder after he makes the catch, like when the ball was coming to him he was thinking “okay, if I don’t make this catch, skip is definitely getting fired” 😂
Now that is some crazy bold strategy.
Oh snap it worked.
He’s the GOAT!
Of course one can't be sure, but this was before roids for him. Talk about respect/fear. Pretty sure this has happened a few times to Bonds, or other players, since or before this. I can't remember the team giving up the IBB ever losing. Miggy had a sweet hit off of an attempted IBB a while back.
*Tommy Sotomayor* brought me here ⚾️
Guillermo brought THIS up on tha Dan LeBatard Show with Stugotz earlier this week! Amazing!
Has this EVER happened before??
Corey Seager: Hold my beer.
0:36 The look of disbelief.
I was dying when I saw that. 😂😂😂
This was such a smart and a classy move. If Barry wouldve hit the ball it wouldve been a walk-off. This move is nuts!
They're going to intentionally walk him with the bases loaded.
That's a bold strategy lets see if it pays off.
It actually did pay off.
+Kevo Suss This was the first IBB with the bases loaded in 54 years.
Extremely rare to see. But it worked.
most feared hitter in mlb
Like it or hate it (In my case hate it) one of the best players ever was Barry Bonds pre roids he was a hall of famer with roids he turned into Babe Ruth but I would have done the same thing I would rather win by 1 then lose by 2 or 3
Wow I remember watching this game live
Bonds was a BAD dude. The GOAT hands down.
This is Bonds before steroids, btw. He was such an amazing hitter that this happened. He also led the league in intentional walks half a dozen times or w/e in the 90's. Ridiculous.
This was 1998, the height of the steroid era. This was most certainly NOT before he started using them.
Bonds was natural from 1986-1998. He started using in the '98 offseason because he was jealous of the notoriety that lesser talented players like Mcgwire and Sosa were getting. He was so supremely talented and arrogant in his own abilities that there was no reason or incentive whatsoever for him to use drugs earlier in his career.
Matt Jennings
You're an example of someone who has a loud, in-your-face opinion on something, yet doesn't have a clue as to what they're talking about. Do some research and shut the fuck up before talking.
Dr.Beef He's either an ignorant hater or influenced by biased media like Bob Costas who has tried to ruin Bonds' image for decades. A 1986-98 clean Bonds is a top 15 alltime position player.
Oh yeah, particularly from 90-98'. One of the great stretches in baseball history, and done without drugs. 86'-89', he was a good player, on the cusp of superstardom, but he took that next step in 1990
0:34 oh god I’ma bout to tie this shit this finna be a breeze oh what they wanna walk me? Even him was like what that is goat level man
Bonds hitting a single might score 2 to tie the game. Might hit a double or more to win the game.
I guess he gambled to see if they could just get Mayne out because a single from him may have lost the game.
I’m a huge Barry Bonds fan. But, look at his skeletal growth over the years. He must’ve been more juiced than anyone ever. Including Arnold!
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
As competitor how can you have any pride in walking someone with bases loaded
Even Bonds was like "bruh"
GREATNESS!
lol you can see bonds is pissed......he wanted that AB
"He's the self-proclaimed best player of his generation..." If anyone else had said that, it would've been laughably arrogant. With Bonds, it was just stating a fact.
Renaissance Man Bonds was arrogant, but most importantly, he could back his words up!
I think Ken Griffey, Jr. could have said it without being laughably arrogant.
@@1981lashlarue Maybe. He also would've been wrong though.
this is the sign of ultimate respect
@Bread And Circuses because this is the one of the most rare things to do I baseball. Walk a player in this circumstance
GREATEST Sporting Event of my LIFE. Steroids have nothing to do with hand eye coordination. It's not his HOMERUN Record, it's his WALK RECORD that makes him GREATEST PLAYER EVERl with Shohei closing in
Showalter is a genius.
8 years later to the day he tied for 715 home runs

+dniceo7 HAHA GOOD ONE BRO!!!1!1!1!1!1!

by cheating lol
9, not 8
He looks like the executioner when hes walking up with his bat😂
Fun fact: No team has ever lost a game after intentionally walking home a run. And yes, it's happened more than once.
Josh Hamilton and Barry are the only ones in modern times. The last are in the 40s and like the 1800s
Yeah, I heard it once happened to Babe Ruth.
There was not a more dangerous baseball player in his prime in the past 30 years. Barry was ruthless.
Bases loaded..down by 2, bottom of the 9th, and the outfield second section is completely EMPTY. nice work, giants fans.
rockabillylaker Rain Delay Bud
+Chris King lol Giants have the most packed stadium in all of baseball
There was most likely a rain delay, just look at the place
candlestick park was a shithole. you'd freeze your ass off in the outfield seats.
Doesn't matter. Bay Area fans are more bandwagon than any other fan. After GS won their title, a swarm of GS jerseys invaded SoCal. After they CHOKED a 3-1 lead to the Cavs, the number of jerseys have been reduced by about 90%
This was before he got on the juice as well. Most feared player ever
Bonds should of swung at two of them... That would of been hilarious
Bonds face when he looked back at the catcher yelling “pitchout”
i watched the dodgers walk him with BL too
greatest player of all time. over bath ruth.
Imagine if Olson just said, walk, no pitches, nothing. Pointless game destorying rule change by MLB.
