The chess game. The mental aspect behind the game. Its a beautiful thing.

I still love the interview with Maddux when they asked him how he got Barry out: "My job is to get 27 outs. Barry doesn't have to be one of them!"
Best answer I ever heard when discussing how to pitch to Barry Bonds.

[mattcox]

2 masters at their craft. So cool to hear them speak on it.

[ILoveMisty]

And then Greg Maddux would face Barry Bonds 45 more times and never allow another home run, even as Bonds becomes one of the most fearsome sluggers of all-time. Guess he learned his lesson.

[TheVigorousWolf]

One of the greatest pitchers of all time and the greatest hitter of all time…..we need more of this as baseball fans.

[frankmanto]

I saw Maddux's entire career, he was such a great pitcher, it seems strange watching him give up a home run

[SNESdrunk]

I could watch hours of this. Pedro/Jeter, Ortiz/Rivera, Clemens/Griffey... could do a million different pairings

[jzk]

So cool to see two legends talk like this

Especially cool that they knew exactly what each other were thinking

[captlucky]

This proves Bonds is hof guy knew exactly what Maddux was thinking

[darrylbrown]

Maddux was an animal back in those days.

[jblaze]

Those 2 in their prime was next level. Privilege to watch them both.

[jaredhettler]

Best hitter I ever watched with or without the PEDs. .300 hitter with 40 homer power that never struck out and walked 100 times before he ever took a drop. Played in the PED era and nobody else was even close to him despite them using too. Hate if you want

[Vjl]

The late 90s was the apex of the NFL, NBA, NHL, WWF, WCW, cinema, etc… a great time to be alive. I miss the good ol days.

[flame-sky]

The best pitcher of the 90's, and the best position player of the 90's. Mental and Physical battle, thanks MLB.

[larryp.]

I’m from SF and have lived in Atlanta for over 45 years, and a huge baseball fan. I remember this at bat like it was yesterday. Thank you for the great post.

“This is when he was good!” -Barry Bonds
Was a real blast watching these 2 play

[xtop]

Loved that. Baseball is a thinking man’s game.

[scottbyers]

Watching those two have the exact same commentary was wild. Two of the best at what they did.

[CalvinHikes]

Bonds might be the only hitter who was consistently better than pitchers. His on base percentage was above .500 a few seasons.

[JeremyNiemczyk]

Love these types of videos! To hear how "on top of their game" these guys were is so cool.
