Ted's downturn
I agree too about the 190 or 191 RBI's. Ted was derailed from a potential HOF vote by sciatic nerve/disc problems arising during the '56 season (during which he still hit 35 homeruns), and probably related chronic hip and back problems thereafter. I just thought I'd throw this one out there since the downturn in big Klu's career certainly borders on being tragic. In each of his three consecutive 40-HR seasons, he had less strikeouts than homeruns. It would have been really interesting to see what he would have done had health factors not intervened and had he been able to have had a more normal decline.
Additional thoughts welcome. Larry

Teds biggest accomplishment IMO has not been mentioned yet... (edited I see Larry did )
Ted his more HRs than SO in 5 straight season.... only 2 players have done it once in last 40 years (Bonds, Brett)... with an incredible 14 more HRs than SO in 1954 (49 HRs, 35 SOs) PS the RBI record is 191 not 190
