Accounts for his relatively late start at age 24.

Tony had that Barry Bonds like bump from age 34 to 37 when he had by far his best 4 year totals. Before that Wade was by far the better player but he didn't have that boost in his mid 30s Tony had.
Bill Madlock did win 4 batting titles but was very underwhelming other than that great feat.
