Remember when Murcer was being crowned as the 2nd coming of Mantle. How the hell do you live up to that? Meanwhile in San Francisco in 1968 they were saying the exact same thing about Bonds & Willie Mays.
Go to You Tube, Teresa Brewer I Love Mickey, saw this on the tube when I was a kid. Still get a chuckle out of it.
exactly, I remember those days well. About the time Bonds collided with Mays, I began to think no way will Bobby ever be a Willie Mays, even if it were May's fault for the collision, tho' I've always believed that OF disaster should of been diverted by Bonds, and was Bonds interference into Mays Turf, ie Bonds Fault; after all Mays always had the CF call card to use, and Bonds knew it. Candlestick and Oakland were the two closest MLB Parks to me over a few years, and some real fine memories were made in both...
Bonds was well on his way to a HOF career & the 1st member of the 500 / 500 club before his foolish trade to the Yankees for the other new icon Bobby Murcer. Never thought I'd see Bonds get passed around to 8 different teams.
