Kirk Gibson says he knows firsthand how special Barry Bonds was during his playing days ... and he says the guy should be recognized for all his accomplishments -- even if it's not the popular opinion.
"People go down different roads in different ways," the Dodgers legend said."I've played with Barry. You gonna tell me the guy didn't accomplish anything?" Gibson asked.
Gibson and Bonds were teammates on the Pirates in 1992 -- and he said that 20 years from now, it might be popular to say Barry didn't accomplish anything. "It's the thought of the day, 'Barry's was no good, he did this, that and McGwire did this and Sosa did this.'"We asked Gibson, a former Silver Slugger Award winner, if this 2022 Dodgers team that won 111 games during the regular season is the best in the franchise's rich history.
"They're pretty incredible," said Gibson, who hit the iconic walk-off home run in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series."They've had one heck of a run. This is maybe the best team to win." Gibson won two World Series titles during his 17-year career ... and has always had a vested interest in the team's success.
