The on-base percentage, walks and intentional walks were records ? all previously held by him. File If Bonds had gone hitless (0-for-373), his on-base percentage would have been .391 ? good enough for 12th in the league and better than Adrian Beltre or Juan Pierre. The Giants scored just five fewer runs than the Cardinals, and their second-best hitter was J.T. Snow. At 39, Bonds was on base 376 times. The record is 379 by Babe Ruth in 1923, but he was 28. r hr rbi avg obp slg 2004 Bonds 129 45 101 .362 .609 .812 1923 Ruth 151 41 131 .393 .545 .764 VersionsWarning: Restoring an older version will overwrite the current file without backing it up.
