The BA doesn't matter because I wasn't comparing their careers against each other. I was merely pointing out that both Dunn and Smith were each only know for just one thing.

I think that the steroid era has minimized or cheapened the home run, especially with players like Bonds, McGwire, Sosa, etc. Had Dunn accomplished another important milestone instead of 500 HR (which I know he's not there yet), say like 3000 hits, I really don't think we would even be having this discussion and most everyone would agree that he was a future HOFer based on 3000 hits.
