"...Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds... Actually, I think I did a little bit better than them in their first full year in the big leagues compared to mine..."
This is interesting to me, and Barry “Rah-Rah-Cubbies” Miles didn’t contest Corey’s comparison.
Corey had 173AB’s, over two seasons, before his first "full" season in ’02. IMO comparing Corey’s first full season with Bonds and Sosa’s very first seasons is misleading.
I believe that it's more reasonable to compare Corey’s 3rd year with Bonds and Sosa’s 2nd years.
Corey led Bonds in only one positive stat, hits. Corey led Bonds in K’s by 54 K’s!
In Sosa’s 2nd year, Sosa out produced Patterson in Runs, Triples, HR’s, RBI’s, Stolen Bases & Slugging Percent. Sosa also struck-out 8 more times.
To rephrase a former VP candidate, I know Barry Bonds. And you, Corey Patterson, are no Barry Bonds!
