It was very apparent in the case of Omar Vizquel throughout the 90's and early 00's when A-Rod was winning it over and over and over. Yet, Omar had far better range (making unbelievable plays look ordinary and effortless), fielding pct. and was probably the most respected SS in his day as far a pure fielding went.

I was able to see Omar in his heyday and I have seen Larkin, Ozzie Smith, A-Rod, Jeter and other highly touted SS, and I'm sorry but Omar was the greatest SS I have ever seen and there were many a writer, player and fan who said the same. I can't think of 1 other player that made everyone else around him look better than they were, almost every single game for a decade.
