Probably the most personable video of Bonds I've ever seen. He actually seems like a nice guy, a fun guy. Of course EVERYONE else who knows him says he's the complete opposite in real life, off camera.
These kinds of videos are fun to see and people hang their beliefs that (insert pitcher's name) would strike out everyone in MLB. And they might actually do that, for a couple of days. But if a guy like Bonds, Pujols, Trout, or any of the MLB stars took a couple days of BP, got used to the pitching distance, learned the adjustments needed to hit softball pitches, the results would be drastically different. Guys who make the majors are soooooooo good with hand-eye coordination and learning adjustments.
Comparing softball to baseball is a lot like comparing Rugby to the NFL. The concept of the game is the same but there are differences that don't always translate immediately. What makes a player great in one of those sports doesn't necessarily make them great in the other.
Several years ago, former MLB all star Dante Bichette played in a men's fastpitch tournament in Orlando. The one game I saw him play, he wiffed on 3 pitches in both at bats, however he was facing one of the world's top pitchers at the time. After the game he said he'd hit HR's off Clemons, off Randy Johnson, etc. but he's never seen ANYTHING like what he saw in that game. Of course, he was 42 years old at his point, I don't think he was going to start over in the fastpitch world. lol.
