Chipper Jones?

I think that Hank Aaron would be one

... and only. Actually, only 3 stats are needed - HR, SB and AVG. The other great career HR/AVG guys simply did not steal bases.

Switch it to OBP and you swap Aaron for Barry Bonds (that one I sight-checked, so it there could be another).

Hopefully this puts an early end to any sort of anti-HOF argument against Chipper.

Willie Mays might have a little Say Hey in this group.

Chipper is the only switch-hitter with a .300 career BA and at least 300 HRs

[Gregg]

Lower BA and lower OBP.

It says a lot about Chipper that he's in this kind of company. One of the very best of all-time.

I had him at .304 but that is with out the last 2 Met years (which were bad). He beat the pants off Chipper in SB and HRs. so I might look the other way if Chipper got him by .004 in BA.

[Gregg]

Ehhh, what?

Willie Mays was a very great baseball player but his career stats do not eclipse those of Chipper's in traditional 5x5 categories. That was the question posed and there is only one correct answer.

Well, if you going to put it that way... then nevermind.

Chipper can still hit and he can still draw a walk. Whether he can physically walk, that's sometimes optional.
