Barry Bonds and special career algorithms.

My question is whether anyone has seen anything in their leagues that is comparable to what Barry Bonds has done in his career.
Meaning the player is a 5 star player with superstar stats for most of his career and then actually exceeds those stats and performs at a 6 star rate for 3+ years all the way to the age of 40.
If so, I'd love to see some examples of something similar to what Bonds has done.
I've never been that lucky so far.
Perhaps the question should be whether such a career path is even possible in the game.
Since it's so rare, maybe it's not even in the wide variety of player development algorithm's inputted into the game.
If this is the case, will there be something similar added for the future? It would be nice to occasionally, even if it's extremely rare, to see someone go up in ratings as they get older and surpass their already amazing career totals.
I've had players play until they are 40, 41 and 42, but never at a standard that led the league in many categories, specifically obliterating the walk and on base percentage records and even leading in slugging pctg by a wide margin over some truly great players like Bonds is doing.
