What If....(Teddy Ballgame)
If Ted Williams didn't miss prime years while serving in 2 wars, I wonder what his final stats would have looked like?? Has anyone ever calculated what his career numbers might have been?

I've wondered this myself. After doing a couple searches, I did find a couple guys who took the time to estimate the numbers. It gets a little tricky because although he did miss a good portion of '52 and '53, he did play sparingly in those seasons.
One estimate that does not account for '52 or '53 has his final projected numbers at: 12,433 PA - 9726 AB - .348/.491/.641/1.132 - 669 2B, 664 HR, 2333 RBI, 3382 H, 2631 BB, 6235 TB, 50 HBP The above is from: http://www.forums.mlb.com/n/pfx/foru...ners&tid=39188 This guy tried to adjust for the '52/'53 seasons... AVG .345 -- OBP .485 -- SLG .637 -- H 3465 -- HR 685 -- 2B 683 -- TB 6391 -- RBI 2410 -- RUN 2395 -- BB 2717 see post #7 in this thread. Amazing numbers, either way you slice it. |

Yep, very impressive.
Greatest hitter of all time, indeed. |

Yes, Ted Williams' lifetime stats would be HUGE if not for WW2.
Also, Bob Feller, who missed considerable prime years, would have some super human lifetime stats, maybe even another no-hitter or two - would then have for sure put him up there with Walter Johnson & Lefty Grove. |
