I think Frank Robinson is overrated. His peak was low for what his reputation is. His WAR7 of 52.9 is less than Charlie Gehringer, Wade Boggs, Eddie Mathews, Ron Santo, Cal Ripken, Arky Vaughan, Carl Yastrzemski, Mookie Betts, Phil Niekro and Robin Roberts. He was overshadowed when he was in the NL because he never led the league in any triple crown category. He also never the NL in WAR. He was 2nd once and 4th 3 times.
