Demonstrating once again how silly it is to evaluate individual
players based on those stats.

Thank goodness for the modern stat-heads, so that all the ballplayers
gone before us can be measured by stats they never knew of while alive.

I can only imagine what they'll compare Albert to once we're all gone.

I believe he should have been credited with three hits, as the
reaching-on-error looked like a legit infield hit.

What is the MLB record for the longest on-base streak? I'd search for
it myself, but am not sure of the official name of this obscure stat.

The OBP is my favorite. Doubt he'll walk as much as Bonds did in
2001, though. If pitchers continue to avoid giving him pitches to
hit, I hope he's patient and takes what they give him in terms of
walks instead of chasing bad pitches.
