Chicago Cubs @ San Francisco Giants - Aug 6, 2002 - Steve Smyth MLB Debut - Barry Bonds HR No. 599

Steve Smyth makes his MLB debut and is given the unenviable task of facing Barry Lamar Bonds and the San Francisco Giants. Smyth, The Beloved's fourth-round pick in the 1999, doesn't fare very well giving up seven runs on seven hits, including Bonds' 599th career home run. I'd like to tell you there will be better days for Smyth, but that isn't the case as he never makes another MLB appearance after Sept. 27, 2002, and is traded along with "Wafer Thin" Juan Cruz for Andy Pratt in 2004. As bad as things went for Smyth, he actually winds up with a no decision as the Cubs battle back from deficits of 4-0 and 7-4 to briefly take the lead before the bullpen (sans our hero Joe Borowski) blows the game. The 2002 Cubs were "fun bad" and that's never more evident than in this one. Box Score: https://www.baseball-reference.com/bo...
