Baseball Almanac says Anthony is right.

http://www.baseball-almanac.com/recbooks/rb_hr6.shtml

(With Peter's trivia, this usually means there is a diabolical twist, which I simply missed.)

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.

He did hit 59 in the 3 seasons that began after he turned 40.

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.

Bonds 79
Fisk 72 (his number)

I think I figured out the discrepancy. Baseball-Reference only counted home runs hit in FULL-SEASONS after the player turned 40.

Bonds turned 40 in July of 2004 and hit approximately 20 homers that year after his birthday. So:

2004 after turning 40: @20
2005: 5
2006: 26
2007: 28

What pitcher won the most games after age 40? This is a truly phenomenal stat.

Barry, Purely a guess, is it G.C. Alexander? Seems like it might be a logical choice.

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).

Here's one more:

Last year Pudge broke the record for most hits lifetime by a player who played the majority of his games at catcher. Whose record did he break?

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.

Orosco, Hough and Ryan were 46 at the time of their last wins. Does somebody beat this?

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.

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.

He may also be the answer to the trivia question who is the only player depicted in both T206 and 33 Goudey as an ACTIVE player.

If he is the same person as in both the T206 and Goudey sets, its Jack Quinn.

I see what you mean about Wilhelm. Strangely enough, I swear that I saw he won a game in his last season the first time I checked!
