kinda crazy the longevity of our contemporary goats

djokovic 37, lebron 39, brady won a ring at 43, messi 37

And never forget: Barry Bonds was better than Babe Ruth's average season in Wins Above Replacement (WAR) for each of his age 35, 36, 37, and 38 seasons. 

There was one entire season where he got on base in over 60% of his at bats!! (40% is considered elite, top 1%).

have to remember though he was intentionally walked an *insane* amount, so on base percentage is prob a little wonky.

also, lotta steroids 🙃

such a magical time where his every at bat you could either call out the pitcher for being a coward or see a home run into the bay

The IBB's only happened bc he was hitting so insanely well
