Ted Williams vs. Barry Bonds

[PlayingWithFire]

I see Bonds has another day off! Must be tough to get up early from those night games. Yeah nice team player he is.

Please tell me you are just joking. If not that, then you might want to dig a little deeper in to some facts.

Yeah I am joking! I would love to have a teamate that plays when he wants to play ala Randy Moss.

Or Roger Clemens, I'd take him

Naw....Roger does not count.

Those supporting Williams are not taking into account one major factor, which is park effect. Bonds has made his home in some of the worst offensive ballparks for his entire career while Williams made his home in one of the best.

I'd take Bonds any day. If you add in speed and defense, Bonds beats him out by a wide stretch.

I still love Teddy Ballgame though.

OPS+ adjusts for park factor.

Besides fact that Ted Williams' ballpark was much tougher on lefties than righties (compared to Ruth's ballpark which was designed for him).


A nice little side note. The over-shift, used often today against Lefty sluggers (like Bonds and Ortiz), was invented to combat Ted Williams...

While that is a valid argument, the park won't help Williams' OBP all that much, which he is #1 all time in.

[arod77]

This argument is based on yearly average, right?

162 game average

The root of Bonds hatred isn't steroid, it's him being perceived as an ass by the media. That simple.

[Mayor Daley]

Williams by far.
