... Ripken featured the best of both worlds. He had a remarkable peak and also played more games than any shortstop in baseball history. Honus Wagner and Arky Vaughan may have had better peaks and if you want to count Alex Rodriguez as a shortstop, he was probably better, too. But taken together, peak and longevity, Ripken is right there among them as one of the all-time greats. OUTFIELD (with one as DH): Stan Musial, St. Louis Cardinals Mel Ott, New York Giants ...

In his first season there Moon helped lead the Dodgers to a World Series title, and finished fourth in MVP voting. All said, Moon hit 49 homers his three years in the Coliseum, and 14 his first three years at Dodger Stadium. So the Coliseum might not have been the best place for baseball, all things considered.

The conclusion is that, well, it's still inconclusive. Musial hit 39 homers in 1948, one fewer than co-leaders Johnny Mize and Ralph Kiner. Musial also batted .376 that season (beating out Richie Ashburn by 43 points), drove in 131 runs (6 more than Mize), had 230 hits, 46 doubles, 18 triples (for a staggering total of 429 total ...
