Judge DredTake away all 135 of Bond's hits and he's still #11 in the OBP ranking (.393).
This has got to be one of the most statistically freakish years for any player. I'm not a big Bonds fan but I'm not so blind that I can't see greatness.
Someone else already brought up the point of less K's than HR's (and over 40HR's - incredible).
It must have been a tough season for him to go to the plate to take the free passes. I watched him during a few batting practice sessions - thank goodness they couldn't walk him then. He's one of those players that you can enjoy just watching him hit BP.
