Gibson actually would have the highest slugging (.718 to Ruth's .6987), OPS (1.176 to Ruth's 1.1636), and OPS+ (214 to Ruth's 206), as well as Batting Average (.373 to Cobb's .3662 and Charleston's .3648).
We were robbed of so many wonderful careers due to the color barrier. Gibson might've been able to come to the Big Leagues, near the end of his career, had it not been for the brain tumor that he suffered from.
