He had the MLB record for most career home runs of 755 until Barry Bonds broke the record. "He hit 24 or more home runs every year from 1955 through 1973, and is the only player to hit 30 or more home runs in a season at least 15 times. He is one of only four players to have at least 17 seasons with 150 or more hits." He also made the All-star team.
