It's a perfect demonstration of how silly "wins" are! I bet lots of those wins involved 20 runs by the Giants.


Also, Reggie Sanders' 75 HR and all the rest obviously demonstrate the problem with the stats/engine in this save. But don't forget ol'Bighead walked 198 times that year, and 68 of those were IBB. I don't know how many of those he could have launched, but probably a lot. He had 177 walks the year he set the record too, could have as easily been 100 HR had teams not pitched around him so much.
