Well, if you want to consider Killebrew's 19 to 12 advantage over Mac in SBs I guess you win that one. Of course, Mac was only caught 8 times to Killer's 18. They hit doubles and triples at about the same rate, which is to say almost never and if Killer was capable of playing a little D he sure did a good job of hiding it for 22 years. McGwire, on the other hand, actually won a gold glove.

I didn't mean to make this a Killer vs. Big Mac thing. I think they were very similar players. Both were big slow guys that hit a lot of HRs, walked a ton and not much else.
