Calm down we are sharing opinions. You think stolen bases and .984 vs .980 fielding beats hank aaron? A negative dWar is almost meaningless for individual or team success. Many amazing defenders are negative or a point or two above zero. Griffey jr had a staggering 2.2 career dWar. Not to mention Hank played quite a few games at first base which obviously hurt his defense.
Hank was busy running out his 3771 hits while bonds was jogging to first with a full sprint still reserved for stealing second after his 2500 walks. Of course he’s going to have more steals.
Bonds didn’t even hit .300 with 2500 less ABs. That’s a bit pathetic for a best ever contender imo.
“Oh well he got walked allot”
Exactly right.
So extremely high chances his career average would’ve been even lower than what it is now if he didn’t get those walks.
We haven’t even factored in performance enhancement that skewed his physical abilities. Arm strength and Speed namely. Basically the only 2 things he could beat hank in.
Bonds will never be the best.
Ever.
