Jay,

I looked up the stats about Babe Ruth reaching first base. In 1923, the Babe had 170 walks and 205 hits for 375 times on base in a season. Those are impressive numbers. Bonds is projected to have 226 walks and 138 hits for 364 times on base. However, if you look at the numbers a little more closely, you will see something even more amazing.

Ruth's 375 times om base is truly awesome. When he did that he came to the plate 692 times (522 AB with 170 BB). Bonds is projected to come to the plate 597 times (371 AB and 226 BB). That means he will come up just short on this awesome stat but with 95 fewer times coming to the plate.

Hate Bonds or love Bonds he is putting up the best stats of all-time.
