How many Gold gloves did Larkin have? The Wizard also had more hits, more assists and more double plays turned.
Gold Gloves are subjective. They mean very little.
Ozzie had 1500 more ABs and managed to total 120 more hits than Larkin. Yawn.

Larkin had a lifetime slash of .295/.371/.444 to Smith's .262/.337/.328
It's actually difficult to have a SLG lower than OBP - so I'll give him that. Haha.

Smith RBI - 793
Larkin RBI - 960

Smith Runs Scored - 1257
Larkin Runs Scored - 1329

Larkin had more HRs in one season (33 in '96 when he became the first SS to enter the 30/30 club) than Smith had in his entire career (28)

They were both outstanding fielders with virtually identical fielding percentages: Oz .978 to Larkin .975 - although errors are also a bit subjective so I don't typically look at them as raw data.

I used to love watching Ozzie play, but the fact is in today's game he probably doesn't even get invited to a camp - even with those pregame backflips.

Larkin wasnt very good until the steroid era. Chew on that one
