If Babe Ruth would have played in as many games as they play now, no one would've ever caught him.

They played 154 games back then compared to 162 now. If he had hit 5.2% more home runs he would have been at 751. I can think of two players just ahead of that.

Ruth played in 2503 games from 1914- 1935. 1928 had the most games he played in - 154.

Of course the only steroids the Bambino had was beer & hot dogs.
