Message: [QUOTE="tchalla1, post: 3501129, member: 9866"] Personally a comparison between Williams and Rose is an apples to oranges comparison, or at least apples to pears because they played in entirely different eras, for the most part. Williams played mostly in an era where there were no night games, little or no relief pitching and most importantly, for much of his career in the American League, Williams played in era of segregation where there were no black or Latino players. So for much of his career, unlike Rose, Williams didn't have to face pitchers like Bob Gibson, Juan Marichal, or bat against outfields with a Mays, Aaron or Clemente in it like Rose did. Both great players, but they played in entirely different eras... [/QUOTE]
