Slugging to me, is hitting extra base hits. So - who has hit the most?

I would have thought it was Cobb or Speaker, but it is not. I think it is Ruth. Actually, Cobb, Speaker, Hornsby, Williams and Gehrig have 1000 - 1200 extra base hits, Ruth has 1300+.

This was just a quick look/see, so maybe someone else actually has the most extra base hits.

But what interested me was that all of these guys have most of their hits being singles. That ain't slugging. More than half of your hits are singles?

Ive only found one guy who has more than half of his hits for extra bases. I wonder if there are more. That guy is McGwire. But the only others I looked at were Kiner and Schmidt.

Any ideas?
