Baseball’s Fall Guy — Barry Bonds and What Everyone Else Kept

Carlos builds a six-category scorecard to settle baseball’s GOAT debate. Then he hands it to Sam, an AI who’s never seen a game.

Sam takes Willie Mays. Carlos takes Barry Bonds. Then they go category by category.

Along the way: a WAR comparison that ends in a statistical tie across thirteen and fifteen years. Bonds’ 2004 season, where he walked 232 times and struck out 41. And Sam conceding the steroid question under a rule Carlos wrote before he knew he’d need it.

But you can’t make the case for Bonds without asking who profited from that era, who looked away and who eventually paid the bill.

Then Sam says something about the sportswriters that names the episode.
