OT:What if Ruth had been a 19 year old rookie in 1918?
I know "what if" questions are dumb on a certain level, but imagine if the man who hit 714 career HRs in a 22 year career (603 of those in a 13 year span) hadn't "wasted" the first 5 years of his career as mostly a pitcher in the deadball era?
Would he have had another 3 or 4 maybe even 5 years added to that 13 year span of complete dominance? During those 13 years (1920-1932) on average he hit 46 homers, 8 triples, 30 doubles, had 175 hits, 137 rbi, scored 138 runs and had 415 total bases. Does he hit 900 homers? Five more "average" years would move him to #95 on the all time strikeout list just behind Mark Texiera, but within striking distance (pun intended) of Jhonny Peralta.

Perhaps pitching at a young age helped him as a hitter
