"Not half the player Walker was"? Stroll around the HOF room at The Box & take a good long look at Furniss' SEC & LSU hitting records. Four yrs vs three years or not, Furniss could swing the stick & all the records he holds are legit. There is a good reason his number has been retired. Furniss made a conscious decision to go to med school vs the pros. Either way, both are great players, so why knock one to prop up the other?

Didn't knock anyone but you can't compare a 12 year big league career to never making it. It's a dumb debate. Both were great Tigers but if u can't see the difference u aren't looking. Furniss played first and hit in the most pro offensive time ever. Not bashing just being honest. U have ur opinion I have mine . Plus a year adds lot (60 plus games ) . He was never making the bigs .
