Onderwerp: Interesting Stat

I just heard something that is amazing, in the 30's Babe Ruth hit 10 to 12 % of all home runs in the league for 5 years straight, when this is calculated out for today and figuring in the expansion of the league, for someone to do that today, they would have to hit 288 home runs a year for 5 years in a row

"Babe's records for most home runs in a season (60) and a career (714) have been broken, but he still has tremendous staying power among the all-time statistical leaders. He ranks third in home runs, second in at-bats-per-home-run (11.76), second in RBI (2,211), first in slugging percentage (.690), and third in walks (2,062), and he is tied for ninth in batting average (.342). But if there is one statistic that proves Ruth was the greatest of them all, it is this: He was 94-46 with a 2.28 ERA as a pitcher."

In one the articles in this series I read that he and Lou Gehrig combined did indeed hit 1 in 4 of the homeruns in the league one year. Amazing!
