Re: More Bonds
[ QUOTE ]
Hmm....let's look at something real quick:
<u>Age 35</u>
Aaron - 147gms 547AB
Bonds - 143gms 480AB
<u>Age 36</u>
Aaron - 150gms 516AB
Bonds - 153gms 476AB
<u>Age 37</u>
Aaron - 139gms 495AB
Bonds - 143gms 403AB
<u>Age 38</u>
Aaron - 129gms 449AB
Bonds - 130gms 390AB
<u>Age 39</u>
Aaron - 120gms 392AB
Bonds - 147gms 373AB
Oops!!!
<u>Age 35-39 yearly average:</u>
Aaron - 137gms 480AB
Bonds - 143gms 424AB
[/ QUOTE ]I'm a huge Bonds supporter, but this is misleading because Bonds's huge walk numbers depress his ABs. Plate appearances is more meaningful:
<u>Age 35</u>
Aaron - 639 PA
Bonds - 607 PA
<u>Age 36</u>
Aaron - 598 PA
Bonds - 664 PA
<u>Age 37</u>
Aaron - 573 PA
Bonds - 612 PA
<u>Age 38</u>
Aaron - 544 PA
Bonds - 550 PA
<u>Age 39</u>
Aaron - 465 PA
Bonds - 617 PA
<u>Age 35-39 yearly average:</u>
Aaron - 564 PA
Bonds - 610 PA
Still supports your argument as the only significant difference is at age 39.
