Taken from his 1970 Topps Baseball Card.
Later in 1970, he hit home run #500, making him only the 9th player in MLB history to that time to hit 500+ homers.
Starting with his first year with the Cubs when he played ten games in 1953:
1953-- 2, 19, 44, 28,
1957-- 43, 47, 45
1960-- 41, 29, 37, 18, 23
1965-- 28, 15, 23, 32, 23
Total to end of 1969 was 497.
Not bad for a guy who started out as a shortstop.
