Bench over Reggie. Greatest catcher of all time vs. one more slugging outfielder.

I could that, as I was thinking about that before I posted. Not a big Bench fan, so that probably was the reason

Also was thinking Carew

I would take Morgan over Carew, despite Carew's BA.

Morgan was probably the better all around player, but Rodney Cline Carew was a 70s batting ICON ....

a 72 Topps Carew has been on my wantlist for 35 years! lol

For all Carew's hitting their on base percentage and slugging percentage were virtually identical.

but not BA .... Carew in the 70s was the best hitter in baseball. Six batting titles.

Morgan is the better overall player, just not at the plate. Plus, Carew could hit lefties equally as well as RHPs

I know my perspective is influenced by being a kid growing up the late 1970s-early 1980s in the Philadelphia area, but I am shocked not to see Mike Schmidt at least make more of the lists posted on here.
