For people who say that Ichiro is overrated and that he’s only good for singles?

7th game of the world series..with the game tied in the bottom of the 9th and 2 outs…bases are loaded so you can’t intentionally walk anyone…who would you rather have at the plate for your team…Ichiro or McGwire? Ichiro is a career .333 .379 .436 and McGwire .262 .394 .588…now remember walking McGwire is out of the question because bases are loaded…and all your team needs is a hit. Would you rather have a guy at the plate with a dismal .262 batting average with a high slugging percentage…or a guy with a higher probability of getting a hit and driving in the winning run?
