My loss, I guess.

477 homers and arguably the best defensive 3B not named Brooks. You definitely are missing something on him.
As for Kershaw, he has the all-time lowest ERA among starting pitchers in the live ball era. By A LOT. Also the only pitcher to lead MLB four straight years. Three Cy Youngs, an MVP, and two CYA runner-up finishes. He's such an obvious HOF pitcher, I'm baffled at how anybody could think he's not.
