April 21, 1926 - 400 for Ruth



Yankee slugger Babe Ruth was already alone atop the home run leader boards, but climbed another rung of the ladder as he reached 400 career home runs today. The 31 year-old Ruth continues to be a home run machine, and continues to put up monster numbers. If Ruth continues on the torrid pace he is on he could continue on to 500, 600, 700, or even more home runs for his career.

-----------------
In real life Babe Ruth hit 405 home runs between 1926 and 1935. If he equals that success 800 career home runs would be possible. After hitting 82 in a year, I guess I wouldn't be too surprised. Nothing like setting the bar high, really high, but he is only halfway there, and a lot can happen.
