Will Ichiro get the * from Maris?
Posted By: Gary B.
Could Bonds having 10 less rbi's less than Beltre and only 120 hits so far have anything to do with walking 196 times, 102 of those times intentional? I'm sorry, but there really is no argument for another player that I can buy. If he also batted .374 (an unbelievable statistic considering how many official at bats he gets with all the walks that would upset the rhythm of almost any other mortal) on just those 102 IBB's, that would be 38 more hits more right there, and his rbi total would be insane, with all the additional home runs (he'd have 12 more or 52 in that scenario), not to mention all the times he's walked with someone on base that he would have batted in. He's got 40 homers, but he's also got 25 doubles, a triple and 54 singles, he's far from being "just" home runs. You can't find fault in some of his statistics when it's due to the fact that he so often doesn't get pitched to. And why is that? Because he's the most feared, best hitter of this generation, not to mention this year. Isn't that enough to earn him MVP honors? |

I've wondered why I've always been so fanatical about statistics, so fascinated when anyone is close to breaking a long standing record or achieve some other historic milestone. Part of me can really relate to people not wanting Aaron's home run record or Sisler's hit record broken. There seems to be something sacred about numbers that have stood the test of time for decades and generations. Also, every time before someone has threatened to break Sisler's record, all of the sudden articles appear in the news talking about Geroge Sisler and something he did over 80 years ago - it's wonderful to have these great old players remembered by young people today. |
