Because Derrek Lee's OBP is .457. .... and he leads the world in home runs, no ? 1 every 12 ABs, yes. But what about the other 11? If you were to take HRs out of the equation, Lee's OBP is still going to be higher than Burny's. Lee & Burnitz combined get on base more than Lee alone, don't they ??? The problem is there is usually two outs when Lee is up to bat.
