I hear what you're saying but the comparison seems weak to me. Perhaps Ryan underachieved relative to his talent but even so he won 324 games and is by far the all time leader in Ks. And his accomplishments in his 40s are unrivaled. Bo had a WAR of 8.3 for his career. His popularity derives from the two sport thing, a bit of the "what might have been" factor, and Bo Knows.
