So people understand you can't really do better than that.
Hardly.
That's like one of the greatest every did it every year.
He then went from that at the age of 35 to,
to a 600 on base guy, 800 slugging guy.
It's like in the, in the comics, if you know, Captain America was this like skinny little guy who took super soldier serum and it maxed out human potential.
Right.
But it's as though it's as though it was the limitless drug.
No, no.
It's as though Bonds, instead of being... What's Captain America's name?
I forget his name in the comic books.
But it's as though instead of taking the little weakling guy and giving him the super soldier serum, you took the biggest, strongest, best athlete in the world, who was Barry Bonds, and gave him super soldier serum.
It makes a mockery of the game.
Here's the craziest baseball stat I think I've ever heard.
That year, it wasn't the 73 home run year.
It was another year that he was 600, 800.
He had 40 something home runs because they wouldn't pitch to him.
Every time the bat left Bonds' shoulder, every time he took a swing, it was almost a 50-50 proposition whether he missed the ball entirely.
Between these two outcomes, it was almost 50-50.
Missing the ball entirely, getting an extra base hit.
