Better career Frankie Frisch or Mel Ott?

Apologies, I'm new here. Not sure if this is the area to have general vintage baseball talk,


Anyway, I'll still ask.


Who's career (Frisch vs Ott) was better, why?

Melvoin - based mostly on HR totals comps.

Frisch career OPS+ of 110. Ott is at 155. Not really even debatable.

Remember that Mel Ott was a nice guy.

One of the raps on Ott's stats is that they were heavily skewed by home and road, but I have not analyzed it.

OPS+ is park adjusted. And yes his HR stats lean heavily to the home park while doubles are way higher on the road but overall splits aren't as dramatic as, say, Sandy Koufax who was the greatest pitcher ever in his home park and a pretty decent pitcher on the road.
