Wild that they have same exact OPS. Peak will favor B, but that is a different exercise.

I would take DiMaggio's bat over Mantle's. That is without DiMaggio being a much better defensive fielder. He is everything you want in a middle of the lineup hitter, a guy who hits for a high average, .325, with power, a top 10 slugging percentage. This playing in Yankee Stadium which hurt righties power numbers. You also can add only 34 strikeouts to Mantle's 115.
This is the perfect example that exposes the flaws of OPS+ and WAR. These are only one person's opinion, they are not real stats, which I often disagree with.
