The best baseball player I’ve ever seen is Barry Bonds. I get what you might say. But PEDs or not, I’m just talking about what it was like to watch him. Bonds was unstoppable. It felt like you couldn’t get him out.
The 2004 Mets certainly couldn’t, and honestly, that’s not a shot at the team. Bonds was just otherworldly. And in a three-game series versus the Mets that August, Bonds delivered one of the most awe-inspiring performances I’ve ever seen – 8-for-12, with a homer, five extra-base hits and two walks.
What I’ll remember as much as Bonds’ performance in that series, however, was David Wright.
