Default Slugging ain't hitting singles.

I find it ironic how people treat Aaron. Many many "best of all time" lists don't mention him in the top 5-10. That alone is a shame. What is even more surprising is this: Most people say Aaron was good...but look how long it took him, or what if he played in candlestick like mays, ... or blah blah blah... BUT Ripken and Gehrig are revered for their longevity and what about that porch otherwise known as RF in Yankee Stadium. Why is Aaron's a burden and the rest a blessing. Aaron was spectacular player, he could hit for average, hit for power, he could run, he could field, he could throw...he could do just about anything on the field. Anyone ever look at his WS performances? How about the 69 NLCS ....

His ranks all-time:
Games - 3
AB - 2
R - 3 (T)
H - 3
TB - 1 - BY 700!!!
1B - 12
2B - 9
HR - 1
RBI - 1
Runs Created - 2
X-BH - 1
Times on Base - 6
Sac Flies - 4
IBB - 2
F%- .982 (better than mays 981)
