Here is the OPI for all NL players with at least 300 at-bats through the
end of the season.

Barry Bonds is by far and away the OPI leader this year of both the NL
and the Majors.  His September raised his OPI 0.043 which is amazing
considering he was leading the league at the beginning of September.
I don't think there is any question that Bonds should be the MVP this
year.

The Reds are the leading team but the Pirates are #2 and the Braves are #4.

If there is interest I can post the list for all players, not just those
with at least 300 at-bats.  Or you can email me if you are interested in
a particular player.

I welcom comments and suggestions.
