If Ralph played in New York, you would hear constant comparisons to Mantle in hitting, but not fielding. Good to know the Pirates had two power hitters (Stargell the other) that weren't snapped up by the big markets.

I'm with you there, Brian--one big thing he lacked was good teams to play on. In his prime, there were very few teams he wouldn't have hit 3rd or 4th on!
