The first part is necessary to compare players even in the same year, and the second part is necessary to compare players from years with different offensive climates. | DrDirt

One of the reasons I love baseball more than other sports is that it lends itself to statistics like no other.

Would it really surprise you if he didn't hit the 300 mark, though?

That said, I agree with a lot of the others: he shouldn't get in before Blyelven or Morris. Heck, I don't think he should get in before guys like Tommy John or Jim Kaat, who I think had a much bigger impact on the game.
