The question will always be the proportionality. They'll probably blow smoke about how he should be mentioned alongside this or that guy with a half dozen rings and whatever.Part of the problem with so many media things is that if they say it enough, it makes it true. Was Bob Dylan as new wave no one ever could hope to match? Eh, no. He was like a thousand other folk singers of the time. Worse than a bunch of them. But they made him king of all singer/songwriters by dint of exposure and repeating the glaze.
You can see that in MLB, which I do follow a bit more. There are dudes who career stats are insane who were never even considered for the Hall of Fame, but that's not how the whole deal works. It's media and internal politics. ALRIGHT I'M YAPPING STOP LETTING ME YAP GOD DAMNIT.
