How he accomplishes this is secondary to how well he does this. DiMaggio was superior in both RBIs and runs scored.
As for their off field personalities after they retired neither was close to being a model citizen.

Do you think Joe D was better at scoring and driving in runs, or do you think he just had more opportunities?
