Giancarlo Stanton and new Miami Marlins hitting coach Barry Bonds showed off their home run prowess during an impromptu contest on Wednesday.
It began as an exercise in hitting breaking balls.
Stanton says he hit three homers and Bonds finished with four. It wasn't exactly a home run hitting contest, but Stanton, 26, and Bonds, 51, held their own.
"Hit another 50-year-old out there, and he'd probably snap his back in half," Stanton said. "Either way, that was probably one of the coolest things we've done because we all had a good time while we were getting our work in.
"Everyone seemed to gravitate toward that field by the time we were done, so it was really cool."
