Re: Move over Reggie, Albert needs to sit beside of you
The numbers are inflated in the steroid era. They may count in the record book but not for me.
I understand what you are saying and you stated your position very well. I agree with the numbers.
However, I just don't think Jackson was as good as others do. He hit a lot of HR's but still only managed 5 100+ RBI seasons, only lead the league in RBI's one time, only lead the league in HR's 4 times, hit .262 lifetime, only won 1 MVP, struck out 2597 times, etc........
Take away the 500 HR's and you have Jim Rice.
