Eric Gagné shares his side of epic showdown with SF Giants legend

SF Giants legend Barry Bonds has countless memorable home runs he hit in a Giants uniform. One that is right up there with any of his milestone homers came during an epic showdown against Los Angeles Dodgers closer Eric Gagné in 2004.

This matchup pitted the best hitter in the game against arguably the best pitcher in the game. Gagné was the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner and Bonds had been named NL MVP the previous three seasons. It was two greats going at it at the height of their powers.
