Not saying anything gets "tossed out". It's all about context. Larry Walker is now a HOFer. What is the first thing you hear when that gets brought up?
"Yeah but....".
And it's true. Context matters.
What I am asking is...where's the "yeah but" for Koufax? Statistically speaking, his home/road splits over that five year period might be even more extreme than those of Walker. But there never is a "Yeah but" with him. And there should be.
Great talent. Unbelievable pitcher for five years. Obvious HOFer. Strikeout numbers that make your head spin.
Yeah but...
