Hmm, I disagree.... 3 homers behind Sosa and 18 RBI behind Berkman (and also behind 4 others) isn't exactly miniscule.... but yea, his 30+ point lead in batting average was huge.

He averaged...what?...1 RBI every 4 ABs? So he needed to "only" walk 160 or so times instead of 200 or so in order to win it? That's miniscule.

I'd ballpark it at a 60% chance that it does happen in 20 years. Bonds would have won at least one if he hadn't been walked 200 times or whatever.

Wow, you make it sound so easy. "The greatest hitter since Ted Williams kinda came close to it, so it'll probably happen soon"
