I'm going to throw this out there. With the total number of teams being so much greater today, Pujols has also see some pitching that others over the year did not see when the best players played. It's like my point in the Kings thread, we have too much mediocrity with so many teams in the leagues.

Willie Mays did have some nice protection in that line-up though. Mays was the best but you had Willie McCovey and others there as well. Don't forget about Dusty Rhodes, Seriously!

Griffey Jr was the man, and had one of, if not the, best 10-year runs in baseball. He did have Edgar Martinez, Tino Martinez, and Jay Buhner. Before you laugh, look at their numbers: (Averaged between the 3, so 3 players hitting this way, besides Griffey in 1995) 33 HR's and 115 RBI!

I do agree that the pitching was better back in Mays and Aaron's time but not much, if any, better in Griffey Jr.'s time.
