Barry Bonds was difficult, and he was controversial ... but he was also better at hitting baseballs than almost anyone who ever lived. An MLB team could not ask for better production from a hitter, and yet none of Bonds' teams -- including some very good ones -- ever won a World Series.

So why not? What happened? You may be inclined to give simple answers to those questions, but we're here to dig deeper into the actual deciding factors that kept Bonds short of a ring. Sometimes he struggled in the postseason, sometimes his teammates did. Sometimes he came through in the clutch, sometimes he very notably didn't. Sometimes bad luck, bad managerial decisions, and bad timing interfered.

This episode of Untitled investigates each of those seasons Bonds approached glory -- including the year his Giants came just a few outs away -- and figures out precisely what went wrong.

    He wasn’t a cheater, he just ate all the flintstones vitamins at once.
  • He wasn't a cheater: he just did 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats, and a 10K run everyday.
  • Man: “Barry, you’re 37, but you’re hitting like you’re 24. What’s your secret?” Barry: “I do a lot of pushups and sit-ups. And I drink plenty of juice.”
  • Sadly, Larry Fitzgerald is probably gonna need one of these when he retires
  • 2035: Mike Trout never won a World Series. Here's what left him empty-handed.
  • The incredible thing about Barry Bonds is that if you slice his 22-year career in half, each 11-year half is its own separate hall of fame career.
  • The Game 6 collapse...or as we call it in Anaheim, the greatest comeback of all time.
  • In 2002 a team full of role players denied Bonds a World series ring that 2002 Angels team is nothing short of amazing
  • But what if and hear me out here if might sound crazy at first he played baseball without a bat?
  • Crazy that as soon as he retired the Giants built a dynasty winning 3 titles in 5 years. 🤷
  • I remember watching that game 6 collapse as a kid. So heartbreaking. Hey atleast for a fan we got 3 rings later. But for Bonds, Kent, Benito Santiago, Rich Aurelia, David Bell, Kenny Lofton, J.T Snow, Ortiz, Schmitt and so on. Those guys all deserved a championship. And Dusty Baker. Sad how it happened. Never should of took Russ Ortiz out.
  • Bonds once said he wished to play in a World Series. After the loss to the Angels, he said he should’ve wished to win a World Series
  • Ichiro Suzuki never won a ring despite being a part of Seattle's 116 win season :(

    Its amazing what you can do when youre “passed your prime” if you just eat right, & believe in yourself.
  • Thank you Barry for helping create one of the greatest moments in Braves history. That play is replayed at almost every Braves game and even has its own bobblehead. Most of my friends have stories about where they were when that play happened. Thanks for the memories Barry.
  • "It's amazing what you can do when you're past your prime if you just eat right and just believe in yourself." LMAFO!!!
  • Hard to believe Barry's single season homerun record breaking 2001 season was already damn near 20 years ago...
  • Barry Bonds, a man misunderstood because of his balanced breakfast diet...
  • 2040: James Harden never won an NBA finals. Here’s why
  • The editing in these are amazing. Props to you. Bonds was an enigma. One of the best ever
