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%).

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

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

also, lotta steroids 🙃

longevity

I loved watching him, but is your point of putting this in /longevity that the PEDs don’t matter? What if he dies early because he took them and that goes against “don’t die”?
