Mantle retired the following season with 536 HR. Back then, that was third behind Ruth and Mays. He is 18th on the all-time HR list today.
What if Mantle had been able to play as a DH? He retired 3 seasons before the AL adopted the rule. My guess is that he would hit 600 HR with all of those extra at bats.
Mantle played in 12 World Series and hit 18 HR.
