Is vastly overrated. I'm tired of people propping him to a level he doesn't belong. Fact is, Hank was a very good hitter who played an extremely long time, and broke the record because of the laucnhing pad. His career OBP is nothing to ride about, nor is his supposed "amazing homerun power".
Barry Bonds, even prior to 2000, was a superior player. He had a better career Relative ISO. ( a better metric for power than Pure homeruns), higher career OBP, more intentional walks, much better basestealing numbers, and more MVP'S and GG'S.
Hank wishes he had the all-around skills Barry did.
