Lol that’s specific as hell

I mean, nobody's over .565, so it's just everyone in the HOF who is alive and over .550 SLG.

Larry Walker and Vlad.  Larry finished his career with a ridiculous .565 slugging, and Vladi had a .553 career slugging.

Yeah, it surprised me too.  Thought it might make for a fun question because of that.

Walker was criminally underrated at the beginning of his journey to the HOF.

Agreed.  I can't fathom why, either.

Walker was so unfairly killed for Coors. Was a no brainer HOFer imo. Montreal and his road splits showed the Coors effect wasn’t completely justified.
