Bonds stats are crazier.

One year Bonds got on base over 60% of the time

That's the equivalent of a QB completing over 80% of his passes for the season. Or an NBA player shooting 80% from the field for the season.
:wtf: just checked thats madness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


but yo...Gretzky had like 200 + points in multiple years and scored 92 fukkin goals!!!! more than one per game

Greatest Contact hitter I've ever seen = Ichiro

Greatest Power hitter I've ever seen = Bonds

Greatest Outfielders I've ever seen = CF Griffey Jr. LF Bonds RF Torii Hunter or ichiro

Just know if you can be recognized by millions of casual fans by just your first or last name (Bonds, Griffey, Ichiro, Gretzky, Jordan) you're in the GOAT category conversation

Greatest Fielder I've ever seen = Griffey Jr. (Bonds 2nd, shyt ichiro up there too)
:what:

The best outfielders of the last 25 years (fielding only) have to be Tori Hunter and Jim Edmonds. and maybe Andruw Jones.

to put bonds or Suzuki over either is just :huhldup:

I do agree with Tori, I should've put it by position, but I would rank Griffey over hunter Edmonds and jones for CF's LF bonds CF Griff RF ichiro

:dahell: Ruth and Aaron are both right there with him in homers and I think runs batted in too. Ruth played 483 fewer games than Barry too. He was



I like Barry, but every metric goes in Ruth's favor except total home runs. .342 average, a .690 slugging percentage (Alex Rodriguez peaked at .650 by comparison), a 94-26 record as a pitcher with a 2.30 ERA I think, a disgusting number of World Series home runs including 3 separate games with 3 homers, and he led his teams to 7 rings total. I don't think you can argue against that résumé. He's definitely the best since Ruth though. No doubt there.


not a single league or era adjusted stat was seen that day.

Im not saying he's the GOAT but jackie Robinson's achievement is more impressive to me. the shyt he went through and the obstacles he had to overcome. He paved the way for every black baseball player after him.
