Mize Aims to Break Babe Ruth Home Run Record
Bill Boring reports Johnny Mize of the St. Louis Cardinals vows to surpass Babe Ruth's 60 homer mark.

He idolizes Ruth, keeps a Ruth photo, and believes arm strength and regular play will lead to glory while eyeing first base and team wins with Paul Dean's health.
