Can you imagine if Ted didn't miss almost 5 seasons serving in the military? He probably would have averaged about 35HR, 110RBIs, 120Runs and 180Hits a season for that time. Let's just say it was 4.5 seasons missed that would put his lifetime totals at 678HR, 2334RBIs, 2338Runs and 3464Hits (probably almost 700 doubles). That would have put him in the all time lead for RBIs and Runs, plus also be a member of the 3000 hit club. To think that three of those years was between his triple crown seasons in 1942 and 1947 is mind boggling when you consider what he probably could have done.
