Aaron flushes Bonds down the toilet for CAREER numbers.


No he really doesn't....

while Aaron dominates hits (3771 to 2935) Bonds played in 312 less games so almost 2 seasons worth. Bonds also walked 1152 more times in those 312 LESS games than what Aaron played in.... Your "lifetime BA" argument is over 7 points... big deal really since Bonds holds a 70 point lead in OBP, and a 52 point lead on Slugging percentage...

Now the statheads have all these numbers vs. the league - wonder how they'd rate then? Aaron spent 10 years in the 60's, most of Bonds' career was in the 90's and early 00's - big difference in the leagues.

lifetime BA arguement only 7 points


So what? 7 points is still considerable especially over 22 seasons and the fact the many of his hits and his .BA were "enhanced" with some "help"

You wanna bring up OPS abd I'll bring up total bases...almost 900 more.

Do I really think he "flushes Bonds career numbers down the toilet"? ...not really...I was making and somewhat exaggerated reponse to the moronic use of cherry picking seaons and then telling me the pre-roids Bonds "shits all over Aaron"

A GOAT arguement can be made for Bond (if you want to ignore cheating which clearly you want to do)Ruth and Aaron...just think Hank gets short changed in many of these discussions.
