While Ruth's 1927 remains the best season of home run
hitting in the annals of baseball, his performance that
year was also the centerpiece of an even more remarkable
feat of strength and skill: From '26 through '31, the Babe
strung together six
straight seasons in which he hit 46 or more homers. No other
slugger has come remotely close to that. His 60th home run
was the 416th of his career, and he still had nearly 300
more to
hit. |
