It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Lou Gehrig's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Batting Average, where Endy Rodriguez posts .231 against Lou Gehrig's .340 — a gap of just 47.2%.

In any debate, Batting Average is the statistical ammunition for the Endy Rodriguez side.

Offensive production in baseball requires looking beyond batting average to on-base percentage and slugging — the components of OPS that most completely capture a hitter's value across a full career.

Lou Gehrig wins this head to head comparison decisively — 6 categories to 0. The 5600% gap in RBI alone makes a compelling case, but the consistency across multiple categories confirms Lou Gehrig's statistical superiority in this MLB career comparison.
