Banks, although half of his career was at first. Ripken had some decent HR numbers for a shortstop.

right whats decent for a SS for total home runs...and then compare to A-Rod..Doesn't A-Rod obliterate that total....when talking all time great.. I would look for obliteration..not someone who has the edge...

Yes but recall ARod only played SS through 2003. I think Ripken had more at the position, actually.

Yup, I am right.
