Bonds Homerless Streak

Posted by Chris J. on July 18, 2007

Bonds is slumping, hitting only one homer and batting below the Mendoza line for the entire month.  Which begs the question: what's the longest stretch he's ever had without a homer?

Have no fear, PI's Streak Finder to the answer.  Twice he went 27 consecutive games without slugging one out.  Though he's gone 13 straight without homering since 2001, since going batshit brilliant in 20001, he's only had  three of them.  The highest was 14, earlier this year.  Improbably, he 16 longest stretches all happened before he turned 36.  Gee, ya don't suppose something fishy's going on, do you?

    Amazing how he's hurt much more often on the road than at home...it's almost as if he wants to make sure he hits the record-breaking HR at home...hmm...

    Was profanity really necessary? Really?

    If you notice though, most of the highest homerless streaks were early in his career. before he was even a legit great player ( pre 1990).
