Umm.....you're only about 700 off lol. Hall of Fame plaque credits hin with ''almost 800 Home Runs''. The ***** leagues, where your stat came from, played 20 or so game seasons. He hit 115 in 510 games there. He also played in the Cuban League, Puerto Rico League, and Mexican League. Late in his career, he got 56 AB's against white MLB pitching and hit .351.
He is the only man to ever hit the ball out of Yankee Stadium. He was the 1st man to clear the 457' CF fence at Forbes Field. He is credited by the Sporting News as having hit a 580' HR at Yankee Stadium and a 575' HR at Monessen Penn.
Oh....and he was regarded as the greatest defensive catcher of all time lol.
''He had an eye like Ted Williams and power like Babe Ruth''
I look at it like this....if the NBA were all white, would the legends about a ***** Association/Harlem Globetrotter named Michael Jordan being the greatest ever be blown out of proportion....or actually not tell of his true greatness
just looking at the teams again, don't know if any team can get over the Pete Rose pick, best pick of the draft.
it should be a fine to 500 for not picking him.
