Bonds had over 1100 more games played than McGwire and over 3k more AB than him. If we take McGwires AB to HR ratio and apply Bonds AB McGwire would have over 900 HR over the course of his career. McGwire played for 16 seasons but 5 of those had under 100 games played due to injury. Bonds played for over 20. Nobody hit them as often or has as many big bombs as McGwire. People would show up hours before the game just to watch batting practice. Now, was Bonds a better ball player than McGwire? Yes absolutely. It's not even close. Bonds is one of the greatest to ever play the game. But when it comes to home runs and big bombs, there is only one man that sits upon that throne, and his name is McGwire.

Everyone likes to throw them under the bus nowadays and shit talk but MLB knew what was going on back then and didn't care at all because the ratings were through the roof, especially after the 94 strike almost killed them completely. People were done with baseball from 95-97 and those two made it huge again. Made it must watch television every day that summer. It was the most popular I can remember baseball being in my lifetime. That or the 2001 season which was just insane. Ratings were huge in 2016 when the Cubs won, true, but that was just that WS and not for the season as a whole. In 98? The ratings were huge the whole season. It was just a magical year which will never happen again, sadly. Yes they cheated but so did the Astros in 2017 and I don't see MLB taking away their title anytime soon, so I think people should back off Big Mac and Sammy. And Bonds and Clemens. If MLB doesn't care about the Astros cheating which was WAY worse imo then they should get over themselves and let those players into the Hall

@@tennisbum3686 yup. He also owned up to it to, maybe one of the only ones to come out, express remorse about it, didn't lie. If it's possible for a steroid user to have some sort of integrity about how he handled the aftermath, I think McGwire did so. I was shocked and hurt when I found out years after the fact that the two of them, McGwire and Sosa both were on steroids. For a while I felt like that was like the "Santa Claus wasn't real" moment for the '98 Home Run chase. It was hard to reconcile how that summer brought me so much joy and excitement then this thing 6-7 years later that comes out means I can't think fondly back on all those moments? It'll always be bittersweet but I'll prob always have a soft spot for McGwire's 70 season and Sosa's 66 in 98 not far behind. Whereas with Bonds in 01, I was kinda rooting for him to not break the record, I felt he was a pious jerk at the time (I had read Rick Reilly's piece in SI called "He Loves Himself Barry Much and was convinced) and I may have been aware he was using steroids during the chase although I'm not sure.

Those home runs were overestimated. people think because the ball hits the upper deck that it means it went far but what they don't realize is if you ever go to the upper deck in these stadiums, those seatsare only about 30 feet past the fence they're just really high. So the launch angle needed to reach those seats means that the ball was popped up very high so by the time it's reaching those seats it's not still going forward it's on its way down. So the ball is only going to go another twenty feet or so past that on its way down. But a line drive that is still rising, may not even reach the second deck but if there wasn't anything to stop it it could potentially keep going another hundred plus feet because it was still on the rise so while it doesn't look like it would be as far, if nothing was there it would be farther. They have recalculated some of these monster shots that were 530 ft and every time that statcast has reformulated the numbers they realize that these balls are like 470 or 480. You can Google it and look it up they are so far off on these estimates it's not even funny but that ball was absolutely crushed
@thickerconstrictor9037
4 жыл бұрын
Here is the statcast analysis. They were way off on this estimate. It wasn't even five hundred feet. if you scroll down it'll show how they figured out how far it actually went. They use weather conditions as well as how far the sign was away with the launch angle was and all that and it ended up being 487 ft which is still amazing but nowhere near the estimate. all of these monster 500-foot home runs that are recalculated using proper techniques, end up being well short of that huge number www.vivaelbirdos.com/2016/6/30/12063478/the-time-mark-mcgwire-hit-a-545-foot-home-run

I was sitting in left field just above the bullpen and the view of that homerun looked as if that ball was going to keep traveling another couple hundred feet! It was towering yet looked like a line drive. It was an amazing experience. Every time he came to bat, you could just hear the crowd throughout the stadium go crazy every pitch just waiting in anticipation for him to hit a homer. It was an amazing experience! I also saw Mike Piazza smash one up into Big Mac land during batting practice before the game which was pretty awesome as well.

For those who have ever been there remembers that was a long way to the CF fence. And he was a lot thinner back then!

In a 1998 article by Associated Press writer Steve Wilstein, McGwire confessed to taking androstenedione,[34] an over-the-counter muscle enhancement product that had already been banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, the NFL, and the IOC; however, use of the substance was not prohibited by Major League Baseball at the time, and it was not federally classified as an anabolic steroid in the United States until 2004

Fun fact: Vin Scully does not mispronounce Willie Stargell’s name in that clip. Willie’s real name is Wilver. He preferred it, however, was not opposed to his much more famous nickname, Willie. Scully was the only announcer in baseball who called him by his birth name, Wilver. This led to Willie’s mother calling Scully her favorite baseball announcer.

I had to check wiki.....>> McGwire married Stephanie Slemer-a former pharmaceutical sales representative from the St. Louis area-in Las Vegas on April 20, 2002. On June 1, 2010, their triplet girls were born: Monet Rose, Marlo Rose, and Monroe Rose. They join brothers Max and Mason. They reside in a gated community in Shady Canyon Irvine, California.[42] Together they created the Mark McGwire Foundation for Children to support agencies that help children who have been sexually and physically abused come to terms with a difficult childhood. Mark has a son, Matthew (b. 1987), from a previous marriage (1984-1990, divorced) to Kathleen Hughes.

People were done with baseball from 95-97 and those two made it huge again. Made it must watch television every day that summer. It was the most popular I can remember baseball being in my lifetime. That or the 2001 season which was just insane. Ratings were huge in 2016 when the Cubs won, true, but that was just that WS and not for the season as a whole. In 98? The ratings were huge the whole season. It was just a magical year which will never happen again, sadly. Yes they cheated but so did the Astros in 2017 and I don't see MLB taking away their title anytime soon, so I think people should back off Big Mac and Sammy. And Bonds and Clemens.

If it's possible for a steroid user to have some sort of integrity about how he handled the aftermath, I think McGwire did so. I was shocked and hurt when I found out years after the fact that the two of them, McGwire and Sosa both were on steroids. For a while I felt like that was like the "Santa Claus wasn't real" moment for the '98 Home Run chase. It was hard to reconcile how that summer brought me so much joy and excitement then this thing 6-7 years later that comes out means I can't think fondly back on all those moments? It'll always be bittersweet but I'll prob always have a soft spot for McGwire's 70 season and Sosa's 66 in 98 not far behind. Whereas with Bonds in 01, I was kinda rooting for him to not break the record, I felt he was a pious jerk at the time (I had read Rick Reilly's piece in SI called "He Loves Himself Barry Much and was convinced) and I may have been aware he was using steroids during the chase although I'm not sure.

Those home runs were overestimated. people think because the ball hits the upper deck that it means it went far but what they don't realize is if you ever go to the upper deck in these stadiums, those seatsare only about 30 feet past the fence they're just really high. So the launch angle needed to reach those seats means that the ball was popped up very high so by the time it's reaching those seats it's not still going forward it's on its way down. So the ball is only going to go another twenty feet or so past that on its way down. But a line drive that is still rising, may not even reach the second deck but if there wasn't anything to stop it it could potentially keep going another hundred plus feet because it was still on the rise so while it doesn't look like it would be as far, if nothing was there it would be farther. They have recalculated some of these monster shots that were 530 ft and every time that statcast has reformulated the numbers they realize that these balls are like 470 or 480. You can Google it and look it up they are so far off on these estimates it's not even funny but that ball was absolutely crushed
@thickerconstrictor9037

Here is the statcast analysis. They were way off on this estimate. It wasn't even five hundred feet. if you scroll down it'll show how they figured out how far it actually went. They use weather conditions as well as how far the sign was away with the launch angle was and all that and it ended up being 487 ft which is still amazing but nowhere near the estimate. all of these monster 500-foot home runs that are recalculated using proper techniques, end up being well short of that huge number www.vivaelbirdos.com/2016/6/30/12063478/the-time-mark-mcgwire-hit-a-545-foot-home-run

I was at the game on the second to last homerun. It was estimated 545 ft at the time. I was sitting in left field just above the bullpen and the view of that homerun looked as if that ball was going to keep traveling another couple hundred feet! It was towering yet looked like a line drive. It was an amazing experience. Every time he came to bat, you could just hear the crowd throughout the stadium go crazy every pitch just waiting in anticipation for him to hit a homer. It was an amazing experience! I also saw Mike Piazza smash one up into Big Mac land during batting practice before the game which was pretty awesome as well.

Steroids may have helped him stay a bit healthier with his previous foot and knee problems as well as gaining some distance but he definitely was a premier power hitter.

I was at the old Tiger Stadium when McGwire hit his first career homerun off Walt Terrell to straight away center field. For those who have ever been there remembers that was a long way to the CF fence. And he was a lot thinner back then!

HR Derby: Aaron Judge vs Mark McGwire in his prime would be an epic matchup.

McGwire will win, but with an *
Looks like he’s not even trying to swing and he hits absolute bombs. Beautiful swing.
the last one was a titanic blast
He makes it look so easy!
McGwire had to admire how far he hit some of those balls.

It has, it's called juiced ball.
Every time Mark comes up to bat it’s going to be a home run 💯

Of course, he was on roids to hit every homerun.
I watched Mark and Jose Canseco smack baseballs out of Oakland many times during games. You should of seen a few of the batting practices before games.... balls hit way over 550 feet
Una bestia
wow this is Genius Player.
4:00-I was at this game. He hit 3 bombs off of Phillies pitching. I was really hoping he got a crack at a fourth but he didn't.
This is the part of youtube I like 🤗
Yeah I always marveled at how far they went when it didn’t appear that his swings were full effort (like canseco hitting his back with the bat he swung so hard)
In a 1998 article by Associated Press writer Steve Wilstein, McGwire confessed to taking androstenedione,[34] an over-the-counter muscle enhancement product that had already been banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, the NFL, and the IOC; however, use of the substance was not prohibited by Major League Baseball at the time, and it was not federally classified as an anabolic steroid in the United States until 2004
Fun fact: Vin Scully does not mispronounce Willie Stargell’s name in that clip. Willie’s real name is Wilver. He preferred it, however, was not opposed to his much more famous nickname, Willie. Scully was the only announcer in baseball who called him by his birth name, Wilver. This led to Willie’s mother calling Scully her favorite baseball announcer.

Angry Tom-I agree, wasn't replying to you. Steroids don't matter.
1:48 Hey if you’ve ever been to a Chi Sox game and walked up on that concourse you’d see how much of bomb that was. I remember thinking I don’t think many balls end up up here then I looked around and saw a baseball wedged behind a trash can and the wall. Unbelievable
I had to check wiki.....>> McGwire married Stephanie Slemer-a former pharmaceutical sales representative from the St. Louis area-in Las Vegas on April 20, 2002. On June 1, 2010, their triplet girls were born: Monet Rose, Marlo Rose, and Monroe Rose. They join brothers Max and Mason. They reside in a gated community in Shady Canyon Irvine, California.[42] Together they created the Mark McGwire Foundation for Children to support agencies that help children who have been sexually and physically abused come to terms with a difficult childhood. Mark has a son, Matthew (b. 1987), from a previous marriage (1984-1990, divorced) to Kathleen Hughes.
The greatest power hitter ever!!!
I wish there was a batting practice HR highlight reel
I would pay for on field sounds of the Randy/Mark homer
The most jacked-up player of all time. The power of the juice is strong in this one ...

You a dummy
No shifts, no Mitchel report, no shits... Fuck it I lived the best period in baseball history.
Dave Niehaus is a legend
McGwire was hands-down the best HR machine in MLB history outside of maybe Babe Ruth himself. McGwire hit 49 HRs as a skinny rookie, besting the prior rookie record by a dozen shots. McGwire without roids would have been injured much of his career. Look at this compact swing, he's not even flexing to hit the ball over 500'.
Longest home run hitter of all time!!!!
1:20 he done it again
“ Six foot five full of muscles “
The fact that that first HR went 500 ft off Randy Johnson is hella hella impressive

How so? Kinda what's gonna happen with a power pitcher when a power hitter gets ahold of one. Not really as impressive as it is logical
He is so big it looks like he is swinging an elongated toothpick.
Man he punished the ball, sounded different coming off the bat.
Mark McGuire took androstenedione that wasn't illegal in baseball and wasn't steroids.
