You cannot just compare stats. You must know what they mean. You cannot compare Jim Rice(playing in Fenway in the 1970's) and Willie Davis(Playiing in the pacific ocean in the 1960's) without context.
Santo led the league in on Base Pct twice and was in the top ten five other times. he was top ten in slugging five times. He had 5 gold gloves. He knocked in runs in buckets.
Bill James has Santo as the 6th best 3B of all time, and Brooksie as 7th. Instead of bar room talk, he actually uses facts that mean things.
