You gotta think, if Lou Gehrig had remained healthy, he would have obliterated that list, maybe 2,500 RBI? He was at the top of his game, when he started to decline in 1938, we now know due to ALS. Man, he was good. Give him three or four more years, and he would hold many career records. And to be fair, give Ted Williams back his missed war years overseas, and he would be strong second place. All to say it makes what Cabrera and Pujos have done more impressive; not less.
