60-year-old Barry Bonds says he can still hit a 100-mph pitch

In many arguments about the best player in baseball history, Barry Bonds, no matter the controversy around him or the fact he isn’t in the Hall of Fame, is going to get his fair share of votes.

Bonds hasn’t played in a Major League Baseball game since 2007, and still holds the records for career home runs and walks and set single-season marks for walks, home runs, on-base percentage and slugging percentage.

But could Bonds handle today’s pitching, especially one’s that throw 100 miles an hour?

‘Hundred? That’s easy,’ the 60-year-old Bonds said on All the Smoke. ‘I don’t care how hard you throw a baseball. There ain’t no way you can throw a baseball 60 feet, six inches that I can’t just do like this.’

Bonds also said that baseball legend Willie Mays could hit pitches when he was in his 60’s as well.

Could the seven-time National League MVP send one out of the park?

‘Now, if you’re asking me to do something spectacular, that would take time for my body to get used to at 60,’ Bonds said. ‘But to go up there and hit it? I don’t care how hard you throw it. Long as I can see it, I can hit it.’
