The Intentional Barry Bonds
Last night Barry Bonds drew three more intentional walks. That pushed him to 71, which establishes a new single season record. The All Star game hasn't been played yet folks.
He projects to 131 intentional walks.
Some thoughts about 131 intentional walks...
Looking at the top walk seasons of all time, this would rank #53.
Willie Mays topped out with 112 walks in 1971.
Last year, the person with the most walks not named Bonds was Giambi at 129.
McCovey's record was 45, this almost triples it.
131 IBB would rank #49 on the career chart.
131 IBB would give Barry 615 on the career chart, more than twice Hank Aaron who is #2.
Yikes.
