Aslo, you can't compare players who play today with players of the 80's. The ball is juiced, the players are juiced, the ballparks are tiny, the pitching talent is thinned out, training methods are improved,etc. A shortstop hitting 20 HRs in 1984 is like one hitting 45 these days.

I understand what you're saying and I commented on that. All I'm saying, compared to this generation, Cal is the norm. Lets not forget either that he's just one generation removed from A-Rod, Jeter, Nomar and Tejada's. These guys have posted equal/better career stats than Cal.
