Love him (SF) or hate him (rest of the world), Barry Bonds' stats stand out in numerous ways. One is his career totals in HR and SB. I can remember being impressed to see baseball cards like Lou Brock's listing over 100 of each. Two hundred of each (Frank Robinson, Aaron) was considered an accomplishment a couple of decades ago. Even now, in this age of common 30-30 guys, few have joined the 250-250 club:
Robin Yount, 251 HR, 271 SB
Kirk Gibson, 255, 284
Don Baylor, 338, 285
Vada Pinson, 256, 305
Joe Morgan, 268, 689
Rickey Henderson, 297, 1406
Add in these precious few in the prestigious 300-300 Club:
Reggie Sanders, 303, 304 (just joined this year)
Steve Finley, 303, 320 (likewise)
Andre Dawson, 438, 314
Willie Mays, 660, 338
Bobby Bonds, 332, 461
The 350-350 Club looks like this:
And the 400-400 Club:
450-450?:
500-500--1 member
Barry Bonds, 725 (and may it stay forever under 755!), and 509 SB.
Of course, most of the SB's came in the PRE-roid days. Still, impressive numbers. I wouldn't be surprised if 50 years from now, he is still the only member of the 500-500 club.
