Wake Up With Barry Bonds Mondays - How On Earth Do You Hit A Home Run With A Shattered Bat?

LOL. Imagine being THIS strong. Strong enough where you could swing a bat, break it, and the ball still goes out. Just pure natural strength, that is what this is. Bonds vs a young Josh Beckett down in the Marlins old stadium, man what a dump that was. How about the fact that he literally hit this into the lap of a kid sitting in the first row too, just got enough muscle on it to push it over that wall. We've seen our fair share of broken bat home runs, but Bonds hitting this home with a toothpick was something else.
Love how Bonds rounds first and just stares down at the dead body of his bat that he just sawed off. We're used to seeing guys dribble balls out to the mound when Mariano Rivera breaks their bat, not the ball flying 390. Not a bad way to hit homer #601. It's not like the bat was just cracked too or broke and slowly fell apart, it was full on shattered. What a freak.
