Yount and Molitor were of course stars, but were they superstars? Among the top few players in the game? I think not. Surely I do not have to defend the stature of Ernie Banks, whether or not he played for miserable teams (Fergie Jenkins was just one pitcher, remember). Schilling had the talent to have a HOF career, but at best he was one of the game's best pitchers for a few years. How many Cy Youngs? He isn't even in the same class as Clemens or Maddux. Now if he has a late life renaissance like Clemens and goes on to win 3 Cy Youngs after the age of 38 maybe I would have a different view.
