re: Barry Bonds is the GOAT Baseball Player

While I agree with your overarching point, a pitcher can 100% take over a game. But that's the only position that can and then they can't pitch again for another 4 games.

Orel Hershisher won the '88 World Series for the Dodgers in his magical scoreless inning streak season. But all anyone talks about is Kirk Gibson who had one at-bat.

Same with Jack Morris winning it for the Twins but all anyone talks about is Kirby Puckett's home run.

Barry Bonds hit .245 with 24 RBIs in 48 postseason games.

Babe Ruth hit .326 with 33 RBIs n 41 postseason games.

Guess what? Ruth won a lot of championships. One player can make a huge difference if they don't disappear in the playoffs like Bonds.
