AnonymousI think the point being missed here is that Shoeless Joe never had to play past his prime, he never declined, so it's impossible to say with complete certainty how he would have fared. I am guessing George Sisler career numbers looked pretty phenomenal at age 33, but he fell off pretty dramitically. Longevity counts here. I will concede that Jackson's peak value was greater than Rose's.
