Compare these two players: Player A had a career average of .292, 509 HR and 1676 RBI. Player B had a career average of .271, 512 HR and 1453 RBI. Based on the numbers Player A must have been way better right? Player A is Gary Sheffield and Player B is Eddie Mathews. If you wanted to win some free beers at your local sports bar you could probably make comparisons like this all day. Reds catcher Ramon Hernadez has one more career home run than Pete Rose at 161 to 160. I'm guessing most people would lose any of these bets but that pretty much proves stats don't tell the whole story.
