Right after the 2018 season, when Mookie Betts won the MVP, I read a quote in Baseball Prospectus that said, ” If Mike Trout is the undisputed best player in baseball then Mookie is the undisputed second best.

Barry Bonds, the face of the 1990s and early 2000s, the posterboy of the juicing scandals and a menace towards reporters and pretty much everyone else. But there is no denying his greatness.

His career numbers of .270/.319/.500 with 412 homers and 1159 RBIs and 1152 runs scored aren’t terrible. He also stole 289 bases in ….  Read More
