8) Barry Bonds watch--Bonds hit #73 and #567 of his career.
Bonds SLG--.863, 1st all time (Ruth--.847, 1920; .846, 1921--no one else was ever over .800)
Bonds OBA--.515, 1st for modern day NL (Hornsby--.507, 1924; John McGraw--.547, 1899), 6th all time (modern day)
Bonds OPS--1.379, new major league record
Bonds BB--177, new major league record
I am crediting Bonds with setting a new major league record. Ruth's record was 1.379 and you need to expand the numbers out to 5 decimal places to determine who was higher. Ruth would prevail by a 1.3791-1.3785 margin.
However, in 1920, SF were credited as SACs and since SF were not kept separately, they aren't counted in OPS. Ruth had 5 "sacrifices" in 1920 and if even 1 of them had actually been a SF, that would be enough for Bonds to overtake him.
Retrosheet does not have Ruth's complete day by day record for that season, yet, but they have over 2/3 of that season for him. They have the data for 2 of his 5 sacrifices and both of those were actually SFs.
Therefore, I am crediting Ruth with 2 SFs for that year, which knocks his OPS down to 1.377 and gives Bonds the record.
Bonds also has unofficial totals of 176 RCAA and 167 RCAP, which would break Ruth's records of 166 and 151, respectively, both set in 1921. Meanwhile, his .916 unofficial OWP would rank 2nd to Mantle's .917, set in 1957. I will have the official numbers sometime this week.
