Closet thing I have seen is Henry (Hank) Aaron. Still remember the night on TV watching that hit off of All Dwoning and the Dodgers (I grew up in LA as Dodger fan).

It doesn't matter if Bonds breaks Aaron's record or not. Pujols will shatter it. The guy is amazing. In the second half of the 04' season, they said that he only swung through a total of nine pitches in the last 70 games. The true sign of a great player is that they make everybody else around them better, and he does that. I will have to say that my favorite is Eckstein though. Everybody underestimates the 5'8" shortstop. He simply makes plays and gets on base anyway he can.
