Default Slugging ain't hitting singles.

Ruth was walked 2056 times during his career. How many were
intentional ? I don't think we know. How many were because he
was a disciplined batsman; well, we don't know that either.

Consider this, though, had he had a chance to swing the bat
those 2056 times(instead of walking) we can then extrapolate
that he would have gotten 727 more hits.

A Grand Total = 3600 hits

WOW!
