Aaron doubts reaching Ruths homer record this season
Hank Aaron told the Milwaukee Sentinel he likely will not break Babe Ruths 714 career homers in 1973. He needs 22 more to tie, says he must play many games and might hit 20 to 25 by all star time to have a chance, and notes he hopes to hit No 715 in Milwaukee. He criticizes Bowien Kuhns pitch guidance and says next year may be his last as a player while aiming for a front office role.
