Default Re: More Bonds

Agreed. If you take AB/HR out of the equation, RedBeans entire brilliant analysis comes apart *just a bit*. The two players certainly don't have a similar career trajectory simply because Aaron happened to have a small period of years at career end where his AB/HR increased. Aaron has a much higher level of consistency in the 35-44 HR range, never did he sharply increase to 73 while having a head that doubled in size, although I'm the only one on this forum who apparently realize this.

It's also rather idiotic to assess that Bonds and Aaron are both steroid users due to Aaron spitting out a greenie once while Bonds is a walking chemical factory.
