Barry Bonds hysterically told Derek Jeter he could hit a homer off Satchel Paige

Well, Barry Bonds never lacked for confidence.

Well, nobody can fault legendary MLB slugger Barry Bonds for his confidence.

Ahead of Thursday night’s San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals game at the historic Rickwood Field in Birmingham, the Fox Sports panel had a lively discussion between Bonds and former MLB superstar Derek Jeter.

Jeter asked Bonds what he would do if he was hitting against all-time pitcher Satchel Paige, who played much of his career in the Negro Leagues before transitioning to the MLB in 1948.

Bonds’ answer was predictably enthusiastic. He thinks he could pretty easily homer off of Paige if he were at the plate, which got big laughs from his fellow Fox Sports MLB broadcasters.

While it’s impossible to know how a meeting between an all-time great pitcher and one of the best hitters of all time would go, it’s not hard at all to guess how Bonds thinks he’d do in that scenario.
