Aaron played not quite half his career (9 of 23 seasons) after the pitcher's mound was lowered.Ok. Sorry, but he doesn't get credited with offensive stats he never compiled.STILL the all-time RBI leader.
STILL the all-time Total Base leader.
STILL the legitimate all-time Home Run leader.

Ted Williams missed some of his prime years because he served in the war.
ETA: Aaron also played in the most competitive era of MLB. And he did it while having to deal with racism, and sometimes staying in substandard hotels while his White teammates stayed in every city's best hotels.
