in that game last night against the cubs where he hit 2 homers. how in gods name did he hit that 2nd homer that ball was so inside and he still got the barrel of the bat on the ball, without a doubt he is the best ever!

It would be impossible to inside-out an inside pitch, especially when you still pull the pitch into McCovey's Cove. That would be against the laws of physics. Bonds is also proof positive that you don't need full extention at the point of impact, in the traditional sense, in order to hit MONSTER blasts. Barry Bonds is all the proof you need. . .

>.The first homer was an outside pitch hit to center,the 2nd was up and in that he pulled in the water.
