In my mind that stat throws the asterik question out the window. Plus, even though the season was longer in 2001, Barry sat out alot of games, and he only played 2 more than the Babe.
Official at bats. COunting walks, Bonds had over 700 and Babe 600. Not really as important as official AB, but having over a hundred more plate appearances when playing two games more than Babe is pretty ish
