Jackson 172, Bonds 170.

Will Clark had nagging injuries and he couldn't hit left-handers at all in his final season. Still. . . . Did he retire because of injury or because he had so much money he could never spend it all?

Mickey Mantle's last season was about as good as Will Clark's but comes out 30 places lower because of the difference between 1968 and 2000.

They must tag players as being inactive. Here's the search with "no" selected under active: http://www.bb-ref.com/pi/shareit/H2ZJ (It works the same if 2006 is selected as the final year)

Selecting "no" in the active section gets rid of him.
