Here are two career statlines. The slash lines are BA/SLG/OBP. All stats pulled from Baseball Reference.
Player A: .340/.448/.634, 1.082(!) OPS, 2700 hits, 1878 runs, 102 SB, 102 CS, 492 HR, 113.5 WAR, 2 MVPs, MVP runner ups, no Gold Gloves
Player B: .289/.412/.567, .979 OPS, 2157 hits, 1584 runs, 494 HR, 111.4 WAR, 3 MVPs, 2 MVP runner ups, 8 Gold Gloves
Player A is Lou Gehrig from 1925-1938 (removing very shortened seasons in 1923, 1924, and 1939 that dragged his numbers down a bit)
Player B is Barry Bonds from 1986-2000 (prior to his 2001-2004 steroid years)
Yes, pre-steroid Bonds had more career HRs than Lou Gehrig (his career total was 493).
Here are a few more.
Player A: .304/.394/.622, 1.016 OPS, 737 hits, 509 runs, 63 SB, 19 CS, 207 HR, 37.8 WAR, 1 MVP, 1 MVP runner up, 5 Gold Gloves
Player B: .308/.446/.619, 1.065 OPS, 766 hits, 572 runs, 166 SB, 46 CS, 198 HR, 41.5 WAR, 1 MVP, 4 Gold Gloves
Player A is Ken Griffey Jr from 1993-1997, his absolute peak years.
Player B is Barry Bonds in those same seasons, which were not his peak years.

Griffey missed about a seasons worth of games from 1993-1997. And not those weren’t his peak years. Those would be 1995-1999 if you want to take a 5 year timeline
