Its a shame. The comparison with Ruth really isn't valid because back then they didn't throw 90mph. Hank Aaron is the person who is really gonna be ripped off in this, and us.

Try telling that to the ghost of Walter Johnson and Cy Young. A little before Ruth's time, but the pitchers back then had plenty of cheese. And everyone knows that any major leaguer can crush a fastball. It's the breaking pitches that win games.

My guess is that he will pass Ruth but retire before surpassing Aaron to avoid the aggravation.
