You make a very valid point. baseball careers usually last a lot longer than football. Out of curiosity Jay, do you consider Kirby's accomplishments overrated? Also what do you think Kirby's reputation was mostly built on? To me, he and Koufax are similiar in many ways. Almost exact same number years, Kirby was one of the best hitters of his era, both were winners and great competitors, both became quality players at about the same age and sadly, both careers cut short.
