re: What makes Rod Carew so nondescript compared with other baseball greats?

Played a position, 1st Base, known for power hitting and a lower average, where he hit for a high average and no power. In the 70's and 80's a .240-35-95 line at first was considered just as good or better than a Carew line of say .339-6-55.
Side note, I used to love me some Rod Carew.

Nolan Ryan once said Carew was the only guy who could consistently pull his fastball.

I'm not sure why they moved him to 1st base since he was a perrenial All-Star at 2nd.
His most overlooked accomplishment was tying the ML record of 7 steals of home in one season.
His 7th steal came on July 16th, 1969 and he only had 19 total steals on the season. LINK
