Maybe 370 homeruns was impressive when he was a manager., but I'm not sure if I'd make that claim in reference to the 1950's. He was a great player, don't get me wrong there, I just think there are better arguments to be made for him than hitting 370 homeruns in a career that peaked in a big-hitting era.
