Can someone look up and tell me how many ABs it took for Ruth to hit his record and then look up how many it took Aaron and is taking Bariod Bonds?? Plus another thing to remember is Ruth was a pitcher for the first 5 years of his career, only hitting every 3rd or 4th day whichever it was. I am just curious about how long it took each of them to hit all these homers. If I am not mistaken Aaron had 1000 or 1500 more ABs to break Ruths record.
