The
Will Cubs threaten Ruth era home run record this year
Open Forum examines if the Cubs can match or exceed the 1947 Giants total of 221 homers and approach Babe Ruth’s 60 in 1927. It notes the 1920 season’s 115 homers by the Yankees, the lively ball era, and how Ruth’s shift from pitcher to outfielder helped spark the modern home run. It cautions that several Cubs would need a surge from multiple hitters to rival the record and that late-season hot streaks have carried Ruth past his own mark.
