I think you gotta figure 150-160 more career home runs. That would have put him around 675 for his career. He would have made a run at Babe Ruth. Of course, no one will ever know. He always was an American first, baseball player second.

I believe he would have been the all-time RBI leader.

(I got to meet him once when I was a kid. I played and loved the game and talking with him was one of the biggest thrills of my young life.)
