My last post was going to be about the World Series but ended up mostly being a rant about Coors Field and today I still think ranting about Coors Field is more interesting than this World Series (oh yeah Boston won 13-1 last night.)

I mentioned the insanity that would occur if a truly great hitter ever suits up for the Rockies. For your consideration I have looked at Bonds numbers at Coors Field from 2001-2004 which were his peak seasons when he was absolutely dominating baseball at a pace only rivaled by Babe Ruth and Ted Williams at their peak. As great as his numbers were during this period, how much greater would they have been if he had been a member of the Rockies instead of the Giants?

From '01 to '04 Bonds played 32 games in Colorado and amassed the following numbers: .427 AVG, .566 OBP, .981 SLG, 16 HR, 30 R, 33 RBI, 33 BB, 15 IBB.

As great as his home stats (at AT&T) were during this period (he hit .365 at home from '01 to '04) it's clear that his numbers would have been significantly more ridiculous had he been a member of the Rockies. He would have likely threatened the .400 mark both in 2002 and in 2004.

Ah yes, and Todd Helton sucks.
