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.

That's why stats exist to attempt to compare eras and look at park factors. It is not perfect and there are still unturned variables, but it can give us some nice comparisons.
