Since Manny passed Mickey Mantle last nite on the HR list a lot of discussion has erupted regarding who is the better player and who is the better hitter
Some Stats to Ponder;
Mickey Manny
Games 2401 2104
At Bats 8102 7749
Runs 1677 1475
Hits 2415 2439
HR's 536 537
RBI's 1509 1756
If you listen to the "Talking Heads" on ESPN and radio talk shows they always seem to fail to relate stats to Games Played and At Bats---look at the numbers above and then make a decision as to what is what
Any thoughts
