Ruth's Record Stand Forever Despite Aaron Pursuit
The piece argues Babe Ruth's 714 career home runs will stand in part due to Ruth's shorter 2,504 games, while Hank Aaron nears the mark after 2,715 games and Willie Mays trails with 646 in 2,836 games. It notes expansion and longer seasons create a de facto new era with unlikely exact repeats. The Babe’s two enduring records, 714 career homers and 31 scoreless World Series innings, are viewed as unmatchable.
