So I guess the fact that Santo played gold glove level defense while hitting .277/.362/.464 at a tough position to fill means nothing eh? Santo wasn't a short peak player either, he hit at least 20 homers from 1963 to 1970. This was, of course, during the best pitching era the game has ever seen. As for your arguments that his contemporaries didn't think much of him, he finished in the top 10 in MVP voting 4 times and won 5 gold gloves. Per your all-star comments, you must be remembering incorrectly, Santo made it in '63,'64,'65,'66,'68,'69,'71,'72, and '73. You are correct about Boyer making it in the early 60's as he made it between '59 and '64 before his decline. I don't think it is a case of people viewing Boyer as the better player so much as a passing of the torch. Boyer's peak was ending right as Santo's was beginning. Honestly, I would vote in both of them, but no is going to ask me
