Iconic Players from each decade (50's/60's/70's)

Stargell is another one of those guys whose sabrmetrics seem out of line. I would have expected him to rank much better than this.

Peter,
Thanks for posting those stats. I think that's one of the great things about baseball, you can have a discussion, and come at it from many different angles.
When I mentioned Stargell, it was coming from having the word "Iconic" in the thread. People still talk about his tape measure home runs, most of us imitated his windmill in the batters box, and the memory of his "Stargell stars" and the "We Are Family" 1979 World Series Championship team are familiar to even non-Pirates fans who are old enough to remember.
