		Williams missed the 1943-45 seasons, all but six games of 1952 and all but 37 games of 1953, and he finished his career in 1960 with 521 home runs, 193 short of the Babe's 714 and third on the all-time list, behind Ruth and Jimmy Foxx, who hit 534.
		Williams used to say that he never regretted his lost baseball years -- they were spent, after all, fighting for his country as a pilot in the Marines -- but that if he hadn't been away, he'd have broken Ruth's record, and several of the tributes I've read have accepted this claim.
		Williams led the league in hitting (he hit.388 at the age of 38), on-base percentage and slugging.
