Belle did have 8 straight seasons of 100 RBIs and 3 season of 48 homers or more, but Frank Thomas does clear him. I think Skenes will go down as best LSU baseball player of all time by 2040 and better than Frank despite hitting vs pitching.

Bo Jackson never cleared 1,000 rushings yard in any season. Burrow or Jefferson today, is more accomplished at this point in career than Bo Jackson.

Shaq would ranked ahead of Barkley on most people's all time greatest NBA players list.

Skenes will end up with a better career than Frank Thomas.

I thought the discussion was limited to SEC.

But I do appreciate that, because I was thinking about other schools.

Peyton Manning, Bernard King, and Todd Helton: who can beat that big 3?

I mean Auburns HoF reps are: Kevin Greene (Manning wins that one but Greene's pro career was elite), Charles Barkley (Chuck wins over Bernard King easily)1, and Frank Thomas (This is the closest race, but Thomas leads in almost every offensive statistical category except BA. Same amount of All Stars and same amount of Silver Sluggers, but Thomas has 150 more HRs and 300 more RBI. Helton has more Gold Gloves but Frank has 2 MVPs to none for Helton)

Auburn has the better overall HoF class when looking at the top 3 from each sport.

Well he always stayed with his baseball team through the end of the season. Usually showed up around week 6 or 7 after baseball finished up. In 1987, he didn't show up til week 9.

Playing in the NFL was a "hobby" for Bo and averaged 5.4 yards per carry over his injury-shortened career.
