Yeah, I got a little sidetracked with Nomo statsI had a post in there, outside of that btw.
Barry Bonds = Gretzky
Only it's like Bizarro Gretzky in that everything other than statistical dominance is the mirror opposite
Bonds grew up a rich black kid in sunny California, Gretzky a middle-class white kid from the frozen north
Bonds peaked in the 2nd half of his career, Gretzky peaked in the first half of his
Bonds was disliked by teammates, fans, coaches, and media, while Gretzky was universally liked
I suppose they both failed as coaches post-playing career, and both ended up leaving their original teams in a smaller working-class city for the big, bright lights of California
