I agree. I can't speak to how the older generation sees him but I'm 42 and when I was growing up it was:
Aaron 755
Ruth 714
Mays 660
Robinson 586
As a kid those were the GOATs (along with Ted Williams) to me. I think this new crop of collectors has a very different view of Robinson. Top 25 in WAR, MVP in each league, triple crown, first black manager. That's a helluva resume.
