Snider was hurt by playing in the same town as two of the ATGs at the same time and position, plus a Dodgers team that was both historic and loaded with talent. I mean, anyone short of Aaron, Williams or Musial is going to fall short of Willie and Mickey. He was also not the most charismatic or outgoing guy and was plagued with self-doubts, which the writers picked up on (read The Boys of Summer; has some interesting reflections on Snider).
That '57 is beautiful.
