He didn't say that Collins and Morgan had more significant historical careers. He said they were better players.
And he's right.
People's fascination with hitting a lot of singles over a (by far) record number of plate appearances never ceases to amaze me. Especially with someone who barely hit .300, had a career OPS under .800, and was a horrible base stealer hitting at the top of the lineup (in an era where your table setter was counted on to always be on the move). Not to mention a subpar outfielder.
But hey, he tried really hard.
Edit: I didn't notice Jackson mentioned there too. Naturally I'm only referring to Rose
