When those legends played, all they had was the World Series.

He played in 12 World Series, but never in a playoff game. If the Yankees had to get through multiple layers of playoffs each with up to 5-7 games to get to those Series (and I acknowledge they may not have gotten to them all), I think he easily would have hit more than 11 additional home runs.
