    << <i>"the fact that Santo hit much better than Rice,"

    Because one merely says it is a "FACT" does not make it correct.
    Because one actually says he hit "much better", not merely better, nor, as well as, deserves a response.

    Home runs
    Career= Rice 382, Santo 278, Best yr= Rice 46, Santo 33, AVE per 162 gm season= Rice 30, Santo 25, HR frequency= Rice 4.6, Santo 4.2
    RBI
    Career= Rice 1451, Santo 1331, Best yr=Rice 139, Santo 123, AVE per 162 gm season= Rice 113, Santo 96
    BA
    Career= Rice .298, Santo .277, Best yr= Rice .325, Santo .313
    OPS+
    Career= Rice 128, Santo 125, Best yr= Rice 157, Santo 164
    Runs Created
    Career= Rice 1384, Santo 1354, Best yr= Rice 147, Santo 127, AVE= Rice 6.0, Santo 5.9
    Runs scored
    Career= Rice 1249, Santo 1138, Best yr= Rice 121, Santo 107, AVE= Rice 97, Santo 82

    Those are some pretty good indicators of "hit" skill, not every single possibility ever known, but pretty good regardless. The amount of times the two were actually the league leader, the number of times they bettered their peers, actually were the best among their peers in the aforementioned stats = Rice 7, Santo 0 >>




    The ONLY thing "FACT" is Dallas has a love affair going on with Ron Santo- its borderline creepy.

    I would guess,

    If the current political race, rather than HOF or MVP merit, was discussed herein,

    We would have plenty of open-minded, unbiased, independent thinking offered, with no insults, personal attacks, or harsh words, just rational discourse. Baseball, however, is quite often emotional.
