barry bonds box difference fact obvious pitch respect seen steps swing though
It's obvious what kind of difference he can make. Even if he doesn't swing the bat, he steps in the batter's box and the pitcher's got to have 'What if?' in the back of his mind. ... You've got to respect the fact he's Barry Bonds even though he hasn't seen a pitch all year.
fun giving hitting league pony since
It's much more fun hitting them than giving them up. I don't think I've done that since Pony League back in the day.
