He was just about as likely to get an extra base hit every time he swung as he was to miss the ball.

So anyway, Bonds is a first ballot.

He should have been a first ballot Hall of Famer in spite of the steroids and everything.

But he is not the greatest hitter of all time.

In other words, it's demonstrable that Ted Williams, Babe Ruth, now Aaron Judge, were better hitters than Bonds at Bonds' very best until he started changing.

And then Bonds became the best.

But I don't give him credit for that because it wasn't him.

It was him plus Bonds.

but he's still a Hall of Famer.

Clemens borderline because of longevity he's in because he was a borderline Hall of Famer at the point where it was clear something was going on.

McGuire and Sosa, no way.

And so on, right?

Like this stuff ain't that hard.

I was on first take and I said, I know it's one preseason game, but I will tell my grandkids that I saw Patrick Mahomes play.

I tell you that right now.

I'm going to tell my grandkids I saw him play.

Mahomes has something that Brady never had, which is this.

To say you're the Michael Jordan of a sport doesn't simply mean you're the greatest of all time.
