Save for an 0-2 curveball pitch, Gagne went to his heater for each of the seven pitches. After blasting the sixth pitch foul into McCovey Cove, Bonds took Gagne deep. Ultimately, the result didn't matter. Gagne retired the next two hitters, and the Dodgers won 3-2 in a relatively meaningless early regular season. But the at-bat has lived on in the memory of fans, appearing apropos of nothing in blog posts over the last decade-and-a-half. It probably has to do with the symbolism of it all: two players, both of whom used performance-enhancing drugs in their playing days, perfectly personifying an era of baseball characterized by cartoonish power.
