John Smoltz just dropped a couple great stories about Bonds on Lebatard's radio show.

He talked about how at an all-star break he and Greg Maddox were talking and Bonds mis -heard them and thought they were rooting for Mark Macgwire over him, so Bonds said next time I face you I'm hitting a home run off of you and do a dance after. Smoltz replied well maybe I'll strike you out and just sit down on the mound, to which Bonds replied..you know what? I'm gonna hit 2 home runs off of you. and the next time they faced off Bonds hit 2 home runs :laugh: then after the game Bonds came onto the Braves bus saying "where's Smoltz?" he talked a little more, then finished off by saying "alright, now go win the ring.."

the other story was when Smoltz was closing and the Braves had a 4 run lead, and he told Maddox he was gonna send Bonds a message, setting him up for the next game. So he throws a pitch tight and inside, and Bonds just looks at him, then he throws another one inside for a strike, finally he throws one up and Bonds pulls it for a 400 ft homerun, to which Maddox asked him " so how'd that turn out for you?"

he also remembered Bonds had hit exactly 8 homeruns off of both him and Maddox because, once Bonds got to 8 against him Maddox said that's the last one because I'm walking him from now on

Greatest baseball player ever. Dis man was a beast before the roids and would have been first ballot hall of fame of his Pittsburgh years alone. I was so glad when Clemens and the other great white hopes got caught up, because if not they would have put it all on Barry like everybody else wasn't juicing too. I can kind of see y this man looked at Mcgwire and Sosa and started to juice. Here i am hitting 35-40 homers consistently and yet i can't get any props because these WWE wrestlers are putting up video game numbers. Y not join the club.

man that 2002 game 6 will forever go down as the most devastating chokejob by my team ever....its so hard to swallow no homo...

I was too little at the time, but I bet even if I saw roger craigs fumble live it wouldnt have been as ethereous as that world series. such a great team...falls an inch short :to:
