Barry Bonds once told John Smoltz he’d hit two home runs off him before the game…
And he did.
Then Bonds got on the Braves’ bus to find Smoltz and rub it in. 🤣
As told by Chipper Jones.

CC Sabathia chose PRINCIPLE over $500K.
"I don't really make decisions based on money, I guess. I just felt like it was the right thing to do."
CC needed 6 more outs to get his innings $500K bonus in his final start of the regular season in 2018...
And this happened.

Joey Votto on calling time to try to break up Roy Halladay’s no-hitter in the 2010 NLDS — and running into him at the All-Star Game the next year:
