My WAR calculation is a combination of Baseball-reference and Clay Davenport; I believe it to be the "best" WAR number available for historical comparison. 8 WAR is an MVP quality season. The record is pythagorean adjusted for 162 games.
1998 91-72

RP Rob Nen 5.55
RP John Johnstone 1.7-And we're back, 91 pythag wins, our best season since '93, another MVPQ season for Bonds who is now above 50 WAR and in the top ten for all time Giants; he also hits his 400th homer. The Giants finished the regular season in a Wild Card tie, but lost the play in game to the Cubs.
