Posted By: <b>Jim VB</b><p>Baseball Reference counts the 2004 season as Bonds being 39. He turned 40 on July 24th that year and hit 20 home runs between then and the end of the season. <br /><br />He did hit 59 in the 3 seasons that began after he turned 40.

Posted By: <b>john/z28jd</b><p> This was easy for me,the answer is Fisk and Bonds,my 2 favorite players all-time. The baseball-reference site splits them by season so alot of Bonds homers from 2004 didnt get counted.<br /><br /> Bonds 79<br /> Fisk 72 (his number)<br /><br />
|
o/t today's trivia
Posted By: <b>Anthony S.</b><p>I think I figured out the discrepancy. Baseball-Reference only counted home runs hit in FULL-SEASONS after the player turned 40.<br /><br />Bonds turned 40 in July of 2004 and hit approximately 20 homers that year after his birthday. So:<br /><br />2004 after turning 40: @20<br />2005: 5<br />2006: 26<br />2007: 28<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Don't think so. This pitcher won around 120 games after age 40 (I'm winging this and don't have the exact stats in front of me).

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Peter- by age thirty Niekro still had won barely any games at all, certainly less than 50...and still finished at 311 (?). Now that's amazing.

|

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>Niekro was 48. Gee, looks like Wilhelm was 50!
|
o/t today's trivia
Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Not Niekro. If Wilhelm was 50 that is right because the guy I have in mind was 49. EDIT TO ADD I just checked Wilhelm's last win was at 47 or 48.
|
o/t today's trivia
Posted By: <b>Anthony S.</b><p>I don't think it's Wilhelm after all, because I think he won his last game at 48, but continued to pitch for two years after that. Kinda like Barry Zito.
