Bonds had okay “80’s” power for his first 4 years too, which is insane. Hit 16, 25, 24 and 19 in his first 4 years. Bonilla was the real “power threat” on those awesome Pirates teams.

The Pirates are dead. Long live the Pirates.

I remember him as a great all around player, but no one was talking about him with Griffey, Sosa, or McGwire as a premier power hitter.

Peak Griffey remains the greatest player I have personally ever seen. He was the first player I followed, vs. team fandom.

Cause you don’t have enough sports on your plate: check out the 90 NLCS on YouTube. Pirates vs. Reds. So good.

Griffey was my favorite player, too. I was so sure he would be the one to catch Aaron.

Trout in his prime was pretty amazing.

I was so happy when the Pirates had that mini resurgence for a few years when Russel Martin played for them and they made playoffs 3 years in a row. PNC is a such a beautiful stadium and I love the yellow and black.
