So who was better ( Kaline or Clemente) ?

Peter- re: Spahn and Musial, definitely another topic for another thread. The
short version is that I'd bet real money that their teammates and fans surely
didn't underrate them. Musial, for example, was in 24 All Star games and
Spahn 14, a gigantic number for a pitcher. You may be drifting into a
comparative card value discussion, which is intriguing as well. I'm going to
watch some sports and actually try to enjoy a beautiful weekend. I'm sure
we will cross paths later, Trent King

No doubt they were very great but my point is that we frequently have threads here where they (and others like Collins) are always identified as being underrated in public perception and the hobby. Without critically examining it, my thinking is that if one is OK with the concept of calling acknowledged all time greats underrated, one should also be OK calling them overrated; but in any event TTYL.
