In Bonds's most intentional walk-filled seasons, the Giants PA system often segued directly into the "Chicken Dance" from the opening strains of this followup to "Forget About Dre."

Either of two answers is acceptable.

The pitcher who gave up Bonds's 762nd and final home run was born in the Dominican Republic and last seen allowing a three-run walk-off homer to Edwin Encarnacion to end the 2016 American League wild card game, when Buck Showalter inexplicably turned to him instead of Zach Britton. Name either of those pitchers who allowed milestone Bonds homers.

Which writer for The Ringer published a December 30, 2016, article forecasting a surge in Hall of Fame support for Bonds and Clemens based on ballots made public to that point?
