I’m assuming this is still a fact with more at bats into ‘24 with a goose egg for righties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t want the cove to ruin their home run totals, which could affect the next contract they are offered. Could cost them millions.

I don’t want to debate steroids but it was beautiful to watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short porch at Yankee stadium will be a huge benefit to him, but so far the dude is such a tremendous hitter he is spraying bullets all over.

Has to be a wind effect off the Bay or some constant wind direction that swallows a high enough blast to carry the necessary approximated 362-370 foot needed distance to reach the Cove. Bonds had 35 splashes. I’m assuming you saw McCovey and Bonds father play at Candlestick, but as a young kid. We are the same age, as I recall a mention you made in a post.

Unfortunately I didn’t see Bobby Bonds or McCovey play in person. My first 18 years I was in So Cal then moved to NorCal for the next 25 years. I have seen many games Giants/Niners games at Candlestick, the wind made catching a fly ball into a circus act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame we both missed out on seeing Willie Mays live. Dad started taking me to sports events in ‘74, just missing Willie’s finish at Shea Stadium. One of my earliest sports memories was the Buddy Harrelson vs Pete Rose fight in ‘73 on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
