35% strikeout rate. If he played in this era, it would likely be 50% or higher.

You just live to contradict, don't ya?

So what? How many athletes can commit to baseball part time & accomplish that?
1.You think the above is easy?
2. You ignore his numbers were rendered askew by a hip replacement.
3. He was an all-star.
4. His baseball highlights were beyond just numbers. His cannon to home plate to nail Harold Reynolds is remembered as one of the best throws in the history of the game. Running up the wall on a catch to the gap. Just the 2nd player to homer & steal a base in an all-star game where he was named MVP. Comeback POY after hip replacement. A hat trick in Yankee stadium.

Normal human beings don't create multiple highlights that are remembered decades later in 2 major sports. Bo made it look like all he had to do was change jerseys.
