Real amercian hero...Bonds thrived on making these cac mad...

Barry Bonds drew the most intentional walks of all time, and more than second and third place combined
And it's not even close. Bonds was intentionally walked 688 times. In second place is Hank Aaron, with 293. In third place is Willie McCovey, with 260. Combined, they add up to 553, which is still 135 intentional walks short of Bonds' total. Someone who drew 135 intentional walks would rank 59th all-time. This doesn't include the 21 intentional walks Bonds drew in the playoffs. Bonds was intentionally walked 120 times in 2004 alone. Throughout baseball history, there have been just 130 player seasons with at least 120 total walks, intentional plus unintentional. Eleven of them

But this shyt here...


From 1990 on through the rest of his career, Barry Bonds laid down one sacrifice bunt
Bonds actually had four sac bunts in his career, but two of them came when he was a rookie, and another came in 1989. The fourth and final sac bunt came in 1998. It came on September 23, 1998, to be specific. With the Giants trailing the Pirates 1-0 in the sixth inning, Bonds bunted Rey Sanchez to second base. It was such a moment that opposing pitcher Chris Peters never forgot about it. Said Peters in 2007: "I have it on tape," Peters said rather proudly.

One sacrifice bunt? Cotdamnyamanbary:russ:
Im not sure whether you actually laughing at it, but theres no point in bunting when youre a dominant hitter like Bonds. you have a .400+ career obp, meaning youll get on base at least 4 out of 10 times in the long run....why would you waste an out there ?
