Modeling RL, Barry Bonds became the HR king in 2007...I won't say that that is cool, but it is amazing. Hopefully RL will model this universe and Barry Bonds will not be elected to the HOF in 2013.

Who's mark did he top? Hank Aaron's. Aaron is eligible for the 2008 class, but no hitters are entering, so we will wait until 2009 to see him enter. Again, I don't think it is cool that Bonds broke Aaron's mark, here, but it is amazing. What would be truly amazing is if after 2012 the top 3 career HR leaders here replicate the RL list, in order.

Dutch Swilling holds the single season marks in HRs (86), RBI (215), TB (536) and WAR (21.4), all from the 2000 season.

In 2000, Babe Ruth slugged .872, posted a 1.396 OPS, had a VORP of 176.1, scored 193 runs and walked 192 times. All of these are single season bests through 2007.

There are 5 players who have hit 80, or more HRs in a season. No one has done it twice.
Zwilling
Dave Kingman, 84 (2001)
Ben Paschal, 83 (2006)
Gorman Thomas, 82 (1994)
Ruth, 81 (2000)

All players that have ht 80+ HRs are still active, except for Gorman Thomas. Thomas becomes Hall eligible in 2009.
