When you look at the stats, he is perhaps the most feared hitter ever to play the game, when you consider that he has received the most free passes(intentional walks), of any player ever, more than double the number received by Hank Aaron in the number two position. If he can get 40 more HRs, then he will pass Aaron as No. 1 all-time on the HR list, and then, perhaps he will be recgnized as the greatest hitter to ever play the game of baseball!

1st of all, the greatest hitter to ever play the game of baseball was one Mr Ted Williams!!
