This would be close if we negated the Colorado affect... But Hank Aaron's splits show that he had limited affect of his Home field... So here you HAVE to include the Colorado affect... and that is just too much...

If only there was some stat that took park affect into account...

I love how you really try to make me like OPS+... Stop it... I will never like it... LOL...

Don't know if you realize how I like to do my analyze, but I like to measure skills over the all encompassing stat...

Pre-analysis thoughts - I am with Milk here. I am not a HUGE Aaron fan, but I despise what Denver has done to the game. Walker will need to be the CLEAR winner to win this one, I suspect.

OPS+ (Aaron/Walker)
120 - 18/15
130 - 17/10
140 - 17/8
150 - 14/7
160 - 9/3
170 - 5/1
180 - 1/0

Aaron had 2 seasons at 1B (1971-194 and 1972-147).

Not close. Aaron wins.

Just playin whitcha.

There is no such thing as an all-inclusive stat. I just like it for cross-generational comparisons.

It has clear omissions. I'm t does not represent speed. It does not represent defense. And most importantly, when used as a generational comparison tool, it assumes that the overall talent pools are similar. That is a rather large assumption.

I have always had a problem with taking away from a player because he uses the field he plays 81 games in to his advantage.

Not taking anything away from Walker.

Just not giving him anything extra because of it. Just look at his splits...

right, splits shouldn't be 2 totally different players... I do expect home splits to be better than away splits, but it just cant be a dramatic difference... Walker is just WAY too much... While Aaron is barely any...
