Between 1979 to 1983 Cecil Cooper may have been the best (offensive) baseball player in the game. Compared to Mike Schmidt and George Brett he stacks up fairly well.
Hits HR RBI Runs RP RP Avg SB TB Slug Avg Bat Avg BB
Cooper 942 123 535 459 871 .277 41 1522 .517 .320 192
Schmidt 686 199 522 503 826 .274 54 1436 .576 .275 517
Brett 806 99 443 439 783 .289 52 1375 .559 .328 251
Cooper had more hits, RBI, Runs Produced and Total Bases. The only stat that he is significantly behind both players is Slug Avg. (Cecil had a great run in the late 1970s and early 1980s - he seemed to lose it all over night around 1984)
Photo Front: This is an in action photo of Cecil as he is bent over awaiting a pitch while at first base. He is wearing a blue and gold wrist band on both wrists.
Back Stats: He finished second to George Brett in the '80 batting race.
