is "at the basepaths" = "at the plate"???I never said Thomas was a better player, i said he was a better HITTER...HE HIT THE BALL BETTER, GOT ON BASE BETTER, ETC.!!Bonds' stole more bases and played better defense, and was a better all around player, but Thomas was a better hitter...
I looked at Bonds and Thomas from 90-99 totaled their numbers and devided by 10. The only hitting catigories where Thomas averaged higher then bonds were:Hits Thomas 156 - Bonds 148Doubles 32 - 30Strikeouts 74 - 75Batting Average .322 - .301OBP .442 - .432Catigories Bonds wins:HR, Runs, RBI, 3B, Walks, Slugging, Total Bases, OPS and OPS+ Funny thing to, they had identical total # of at bats throughout those 10 seasons.I think you're wrong
