Barry has just finished an incredible April this year. Here's a comparison of the last 5 Bonds' Aprils and how he finished for the year.

2007 - .356/.536/.814 - 1.350 in April & how will he finish this year?
2006 - .277/.547/.574 - 1.121 in April & .270/.454/.545 - 0.999 for the year.
2005 - DNP in April.
2004 - .472/.696/1.132 - 1.828 in April & .362/.609/.812 - 1.421 for the year.
2003 - .303/.489/.712 - 1.201 in April & .341/.529/.749 - 1.278 for the year.
2002 - .375/.600/.828 - 1.428 in April & .370/.582/.799 - 1.381 for the year.

First of all look at the 2004 year. Holy God. What were people talking about with A-Rod this year? Please. I mean (*#)(*#$) please. Look at Bonds 2004 #s. I mean (#$)# LOOK at them. Wow. 1.828 OPS in April 2004. Think about that for a little while. I really don't think people should mention other hitters in the same breath as Bonds, it's just disrespectful to the lord.

I did notice an overall tendency for Bonds to dip in May compared to his April although in 2003 he did finish the season with better numbers than his April numbers.

I do think it's definitely worth noting that this year's Bonds had a better April than the 2003 Barry.
