Mantle Pace To Break Ruth Home Run Record? March Notes
Baseball round up notes Dan Daniel doubts Mickey Mantle will topple Babe Ruth's mark this year. Ruth’s 60 homers in 1927, 17 came in September. Mantle’s road average tops Yankee Stadium figures with 17 of 30 homers on the road. Musial leads active games played at 2,065, with Slaughter briefly tied. Six players exceeded 2,000 games. Musial, Slaughter, and Vernon among active stars. Bobby Thomson changed his number on an astrologer’s tip. Mel Parnell pitched a no hitter at 34, oldest in 36 years. Cronin's auto plate HF-56 honors Hall of Fame 1956. Mantle’s home run pace vs Indians hinges on rest of schedule. Redlegs show road power at Ebbets Field, poor luck in Milwaukee. KC not supporting Athletics. 14,000 average versus 20,000 last year.
