It's hard to believe with all of the time that Arod missed because of the suspension and injuries, he is still only 27 home runs away from tying Babe Ruth with 714.
Arod hit 33 homers last season, so he definitely has a shot. But he'll be 41 and has that bad hip, and his hitting tapered in the last third of the season, probably due to age, fatigue and soreness.
So do you think Arod will reach or surpass Babe Ruth this season? Or was last season a fluke at age 40 because Arod was so defermined to prove himself?
And a more interesting question is, do you think the Yankess will play Arod enough to allow him to beat Ruth's total? The Yankees may not want him being associated with the Yankees legend.
