Rookie-of-the-year. 9 straight All-star teams. World championship. Nine-year average OPS+ of 144. Top ten in MVP 4 times.
That is not an average player. That is not an overrated player. That is a superstar.
From that point on, he started averaging about 35 games per year, and hitting about .140.
Gee, ya think that there Kurtis Blow might've had something to do with it?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It was 8 All-Star teams, not 9. Just so you know.

The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.
