Fuzzy Bear · 08-04-2002, 04:35 PM

Bonds' injury shows how tough and enduring 600 HRs is.

I predicted that Mark McGwire would retire before 600. People thought I was silly, but, as it turned out, he didn't even pass F. Robby.

Obviously, I think Bonds will get 600. But he's hardly an automatic to catch Ruth or Aaron (or even Mays). He has a slightly better chance of growing old overnight, with no explicable reason.

He came into the year with a .755 OPS (.348 OBA, .407 SLG) in 5 minor league seasons and is off to a .712 OPS (.329 OBA, .383 SLG) start in 48 games in AAA this year.

I predicted that Mark McGwire would retire before 600. People thought I was silly, but, as it turned out, he didn't even pass F. Robby. Obviously, I think Bonds will get 600. But he's hardly an automatic to catch Ruth or Aaron (or even Mays). He has a slightly better chance of growing old overnight, with no explicable reason.
