Aaron was much better than he's given credit for being a Top 3-5 all timer. I think the longevity thing has been blown out of proportion. He wasn't playing just to keep playing. He was still a Top 5-10 player in the league when he was 40. Only his last two years when he went back to Milwaukee were playing out the string type years.
If Aaron played with the Yankees, Cubs, or Red Sox he would be getting all the glazing. Though Mantle I think is somehow underrated by general consensus even if he wasn't better than Hank.
Bonds is the GOAT though

People low rate Bonds because he was such a turd but I still would put Mays as the position player GOAT because he was a 10 at every tool including arm and defense. Bonds was never a 10 at every tool. When I look at rating someone overall I look at every tool not just hitting.

Mantle’s peak was extremely high.
Mantle’s career standing is overrated if people are putting him up there with Ruth, Mays, Williams, Musial etc.. Aside from batting average and a little speed, he’d be considered a Mike Schmidt if he played for a team like the Royals. That’s not an insult as Schmidt is WAY underrated. It’s just a reality.

Yep. No doubt on all of this.
