Joe played centerfield and second base when he wasn't on the mound and could win 20 games (in a 100-game season), hit over.400, and swat homers at a 40-plus pace for 550 at bats.
And Joe didn't join the league until 1920, when he was 28, compared to Satchel's 23, and Joe's career was cut short after 1930 by the Great Depression while Satch pitched into his 40s.
