Nope. One is a first baseman. The other a 1B/OF that played in 30s and 40’s. One of the most underrated offensive players in MLB history.

Yes on Greenberg. No, Musial. You did pick two that I think are consistently underrated. Especially Greenberg.
Seven (in order) picked.
1. Ruth
2. Williams
3. Gehrig
4. Bonds
5. MISSING
6. Greenberg
7. Hornsby
8. Trout.
No 5 highest OPS for a RH hitter…..

BINGO.
Another somewhat underrated player.
Greenberg should be talked about more. The original “Hammering Hank”. Not only was he a tremendous hitter, but he missed 3 years for WWII. And he was subjected to horrific anti-semetism.
Apparently Foxx and Mantle were the only two to hit one over the LF roof in Comiskey Park. Mantle's went 550 ft and broke a car windshield.
