Rizzuto was way better than Dark because of his great fielding. Dark wasn't
that much better as a batter (98 OPS+ vs. 93 OPS+), but Rizzuto was way better as a fielder. He moved to third base by the end of his career, and BR rates Rizzuto as 95 runs better than Dark as a fielder, if you include the positional adjustments.
Al Dark is probably underrated though.
