I admire people like Ken Griffey and Ichiro for their consistent hitting. They get their hits from good swings and good approaches to an at bat

You mean you admire Griffey's old hitting, when he used to take it to all fields. Now his swing has slowed and he mainly pulls. He used to be the best, now he's only average because of all the damn injuries.

I usually have a much higher OBP than BA and I like that, but being a power hitter gets you on teams faster and is much more respected.
