Of course his walk rates were better in those peak years. Almost 40% of them were intentional. Not to mention many more that might have well been intentional walks. Pitchers don't fear him anymore so why pitch around the guy?

Um...I do not compute walk rates with intentional walks included. That is the raw walk rates without intentional and they prove a point.
