I give the edge to Willie Mays over Hank based on defense

Bonds won three MVP awards in the 90s. Griffey won 1. Griffey hit for more power

Also --Bonds stole a lot more bases. Griffey's best base stealing year would've

Bonds had a higher WAR, higher OPS, more SB's, more runs, same avg, higher slg.

And he kills him in OBP, walks, strikeouts, and stolen bases. Griffey was a

Griffey was a better fielder, had the same BA, and hit more HR's.

Bonds' WAR for the nineties was the second highest for any decade since the 30's

Pre-steroids Bonds was the best MLB player since Mays. He was amazing. He hit

Pre-steroids he won 3 MVP awards and was the best player in baseball.

We didn't make him take steroids.

If we're honest, the pre-steroids Bonds was having a fantastic career

probably inflated? Like hitting 73 HR at age 36?

You missed the "in a dramatic way" part of my statement

Exactly. His career BA would probably be in the high .280's or low .290's,

Bonds began using after the 1998 season

With a normal decline as he aged, he wouldn't have cracked 600.

Okay so he was three months short of 35.
