re: How many Homeruns would prime Barry Bonds hit this season

That's a weird way to describe someone who posted a .609 OBP.

Bonds was walked 2,558 times, which is better than second place (Rickey Henderson) by 368 walks.

He was intentionally walked 688 times, which bests second place (Albert Pujols) by 392 free passes.

Bonds was walked with the bases loaded because the opposition feared a grand slam and wanted to keep their lead.

It's a fact that in 2004, he reached base 376 times, but only had 373 official at-bats. In the history of Major League Baseball, he's the only player to ever do so, and no one else has even come close.

Why?

In 2004, Bonds was walked 232 times, with 120 coming intentionally (both of which are single-season records).

So yeah, not a weird way.
