Hernadez' WAR and JAWS are higher than Olerud as well.
Keith's appearance on Seinfeld and the fact that he is one of the better announcers doesn't hurt.

I was a big fan of Olerud, but no comparison. Hernandez played in a much tougher offensive era and was the Ozzie Smith, Johnny Bench and Brooks Robinson of his position.
