.305/.374/.555 with 37 HR and 113 RBI is a great season, an MVP-caliber season. That was Aaron's 162-game average for 23 years.
Earlier on the same night he broke Ruth's HR record, he passed Willie Mays as the all-time NL Runs leader.
He had a period where he stole a fair number of bases. In the 10 seasons from 1959-68, he was 7th in baseball in steals, ahead of Mays. For his career, his SB % was higher than Mays, Wills or Lou Brock.
If you take away his 755 homers, he still has 3,000+ hits.
He's #1 all time in RBI and in Runs+RBI.
His 6,856 total bases is 700 more than anyone else. Musial could have hit 350 more doubles and not had as many total bases as Aaron. Ruth could have hit 250 more home runs and not has as many total bases as Aaron. (Bonds would have needed 220 more homers just to tie Aaron.) Pete Rose could have cracked another 1,100 singles and not had as many total bases as Aaron.2021 Auction Anatomy
