Why is baseball player Pie Traynon listed as one of baseballs great players?

As Pittsburgh's starting third baseman in 1922, Pie Traynor's name normally is overlooked when it comes to MLB's all time greats. Pie, however, was not overlooked by Baseball's great manager, John McGraw. Trynor was a great hitter with a lifetime batting average of .320 which includes his 1923 season with the Pirates where he batted .338 with 208 hits, 101 RBI's and 108 runs scored. In his seventeen years in baseball he only had 53 home runs but that's deceiving. With a total of 1,002 RBI's he leads for example Mickey Mantle who had 368 home runs and 1,000 RBI's.His record surpasses such baseball greats as Harmon Killebrew, Willie Mays, and Mike Schmidt.
What is remarkable is that no one with as few as his 53 home runs is even close.
