Again...
This is like arguing and disclaiming Bonds..Clemens...etc.
Ifs...buts...maybes....
Taking their careers...as a whole...The stats IMO heavily favor Kaline
You can point to Clemente's avg...and more..triples?
I personally would take the:
200 more Runs
650 more Walks
275 more RBIs
160 more HRs
50 more SBs
Even for all of you wanting to add on 2-3 more hypothetical years ...Clemente still at best leads in Hits/Avg
I still take the RBI/HR/Walks and a guy that hit for avg...vs a guy that pretty much just hit for avg.
