Projecting Batting Stats Over 9,000 AB
| 12

As I'm raging with this debate about Albert Belle in the HOF, I've projected some numbers for big sluggers had they stayed on their career pace and made it to 9,000 at-bats, something only 60 MLB players have ever achieved. By comparison, Hank Aaron had well over 12,000 AB in his career. Take a look:
Mark McGwire -- 848HR -- 2057RBI
Ted Williams -- 608HR -- 2148RBI
Lou Gehrig -- 555HR -- 2244RBI
Duke Snider -- 511HR -- 1675RBI
Albert Belle -- 586HR -- 1905RBI
Ralph Kiner -- 638HR -- 1754RBI
Dave Kingman -- 596HR -- 1630RBI
Jose Canseco -- 589HR -- 1794RBI
Ron Kittle (personal favorite) -- 586HR -- 1529RBI
I guess this doesn't mean much, but some of the guys that are considered the great sluggers of all-time were helped by health and length of career. McGwire's numbers are the most ridiculous.
