I can understand the RBI difference:
Gwynn ....1,138
Ripken ...1,695

I can understand the Runs difference:
Gwynn ....1,383
Ripken ...1,647

What I can't understand is the Hits difference:
Gwynn (Avg .338) ....3,141
Ripken (Avg .276) .....3,183

Cal Ripken Jr. getting 42 more hits might be explained by him playing in
2,632 straight games, and also, starting his career one year before Tony
Gwynn, so both stats (combined) might have helped Ripken overcome that .062
point difference in Batting Average.

Still, a lifetime .338 hitter vs. a lifetime .276 hitter, and the .276 guy
has MORE hits? I don't get it.



At-bats were how much greater for Ripken?
