Mickey Mantle: 64 HR in Twilight Zone Squared.

Batting only righty but not in Yankee Stadium: 64 home runs (HR) in 1960 in 154 games.  Wow.   Mickey Mantle might have already broken the Babe Ruth HR record of 60, which would have deprived teammate Roger Maris of the record in 1961 when Maris hit 61 HR in 162 games.

Mickey Mantle batting only righty: 461 to 468 homers.

Mickey Mantle might have lost as many as 75 home runs (HR) had he batted only right handed instead of switch hitting...

Mickey in the Twilight Zone (TZ) of batting only righty would have been penalized greatly by playing his home games in Yankee Stadium, which had very long distances to the outfield walls in left and center...

Method two used Mickey's season HR rates (AB/HR) per season: 468 HR.

Real Mickey hit 536 HR.  I'll use his TZ road HR from method two and simply double them.
