Note of Interest

Currently HOFer Barry Bonds is 10th on the career OPS list. His, uh, younger father, Bobby, is 11th.

Bobby Bonds suffered a setback from a broken hand and has retired with a CEI (perhaps he broke it trying to pound some sense into Barry's augmented cranium). Bobby Bonds had 9 years and 38 days of ML service time. He will not enter the HOF as he did not reach the 10 years of service time needed to be eligible.

Bobby had 1327 hits, 335 HR, and 923 RBI in 1095 games played. He had a slash line of 315/403/625 (npa OPS+ 162) and would have been on odds on favorite to finish with a HOF entry, had he met the 10 year requirement.
