The Babe!!!
Gotta love Hammerin' Hank but the Babe was the best. The Babe had fewer ABs and could perform after a good bender the night before, plus he smoked and tended to avoid exercise like the plague. Oh and there was that strange rule that existed back in Ruth's era where a ball hit out of the park fair but curved foul afterwards was not counted as a home run. Silly rule. Glad they had the wisdom to remove it. I wonder how many home runs that robbed the Babe of? I heard that he would have actually hit 80+ HRs the year he hit 60 if it weren't for that rule. That's 80 HRs with a non-juiced ball and a non-juiced batter!
Beat that, Barry!!!
