[On August 7, 2007], the sequoia of Major League Baseball records fell and the damnation of it was not that nobody heard it; it was that so few people cared. For all of his great skill, the most unimaginable achievement in the career of Barry Bonds is not that he broke the all-time home run record, but that he debased it. - Sports Illustrated, Tom Verducci

I redid the Barry Bonds but the problem is the in-game weight of 228lbs. He's very bloated at that weight. The weight OOTP has is less than fangraphs (240lbs but an inch taller) and more than bRef (185lbs - prob last witnessed by Jim Leyland). To get an fg to look decent put him at 205 lbs. I'll see if I can appeal the in-game weight in the interest of getting a better looking facegen. Anyway, here's the current pack's Bonds at 228, then my fg at 228 and lastly, my fg at 205 lbs. I didn't bother trying to get a Pirates or early SF Bonds picture (a mustache one) as I think the weight would have to go down a lot in-game to make that work.
