Damianthats what i said....
"i realize the importance of Jackie Robinson but i truely don't know where he actually ranks in the discussion of alltime 2nd basemen."
"By looking at similar batters / comparable players the comparison to Greg Jeffries and Jeff Cirillo had me wondering. Obviously he was better.. "
two lines of a very small paragraph, pretty hard to miss actually, i was not comparing him to Greg Jeffries...but Baseball Reference does. That is why i asked a panel of what i would consider VERY knowledgable people to answer this question. Seeings how i live in a small town in Massachusetts & i am 32 years old, theres not much in a wealth of knowledge on Jackie Robinson here. My mother sat next to him at his sons ( her brothers ) little league or babe ruth game before and said hi when she was little. And she didnt know who he was until she got back to her dad's car and he told her who she was sitting next to, but that doesnt tell me how good/great of a ball player he was.
