I was named to six all-star teams, and had a lifetime on-base-percentage of just a hair under .400. On 3 occasions, I created 200+% of the runs created per 27 outs of that of an average player.
I averaged 37 homeruns and over 100 walks per year over my career. Six times I drove in over 100 runs and 6 times I scored more than 100 runs, though I certainly wasn't fast. Sure, I know a lot of you know who I am, but here's the real question: AM I THE MOST, OR AT LEAST ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED, UNDERAPPRECIATED PLAYERS ELECTED TO COOPERSTOWN???
I know a lot of you guys, if not all, know who this player is, but what about the last question?
Best,

Let's not forget that the Bucs were cellar dwellers during that time, including the abysmal 42-112 1952 team - the last year of his streak. Some help might have improved his recognition, better team performance may have gotten him even more BB's. Who knows?
