Kiner was 8th among LF and those above him were elite players. Belle is tied for 30th with Bob Johnson. That is his comp not Ralph Kiner. |

Wow, I just took a look at Belle’s numbers. I had no idea he was that consistently productive.

Johnson also gets a big bump to metrics because he was one of the few decent players to not lose any time to WW2. Of course he stood out in comparison to the likes of Pete Gray. Last edited by Tabe; 03-09-2019 at 07:54 PM. |

7/63/.265 in 1943 and he takes 5th in MVP voting. Ouch.
Interesting stats though. He started at age 27. One imagines he would be on more people's radar screens with a few more good early years.

I get the whole career thing...
but like Paul Henderson who scored the most famous goal in history (he is not in the Hockey Hall of Fame), Maris achieved something only a few players have been able to - ensuring his legacy, and he was extremely famous at some point.... Maybe these institutions should be called the Hall's of Career Stats and Longevity |
