Cherry picking? No. I didn't bother to go more deeply than his batting average and home run tital. And the newfangled WAR thingie I'm disinclined to check at all.

No, he doesn't need me to count for him. In my experience rich men are really good at counting for themselves. That's typically a necessary condition to getting rich.
