Barry Bonds versus Japan


This video seems to be from right after the season that Bonds hit 73 home runs. Some Japanese game show or something came to the local high school in my hometown to have Bonds play in a live version of a Japanese baseball board game. Yeah, what I just wrote really makes no sense, but neither do Japanese game shows. Anyway, it features Bonds taking cuts against a super-modified pitching machine. And also Barry talking smack to a Japanese comedian. I'm stunned Bonds agreed to do this. He must have been in a steroid-induced haze when he signed up for this, there's really no other explanation.

The whole episode is on YouTube, and this is just part 2. So if you're really looking to kill some time today, here's part 1 which has a hilarious introduction of Bonds and part 3 which is him taking more cuts and trying to strike out the Japanese guy using the pitching machine.

Bonds wouldn't make it past the first obstacle in Ninja Warrior, so this is the next best thing.

I remember I saw this on live TV in Japan. They also had a pitcher on a trampoline trying to strike him out in another video (smoke would come out, and the pitcher would jump and throw). Dave Roberts was also on a Gymkata-type show.
