Answer 1

Aaron started with the Milwaukee Braves in 1954, stayed with the team when the moved to Atlanta in 1966, and played there until 1974. He then when to Milwaukee and finished his career with the Brewers in 1976. Aaron played all or part of 23 seasons, not 26. 3298 games, 12364 at-bats

Ruth came up mid-season for the Red Sux in 1914 (July 11) and played there until being traded to the Yankees before the start of the 1920 season. Stayed in New York until 1934, when he went back to Boston to play with the Braves in 1935, his only year there (his last game was May 30 of that year). Ruth played all or part of 22 seasons. 2503 games, 8399 at-bats. Ruth also had 2062 walks and 1330 K's, vs. Aaron's 1402 walks and 1383 K's.

Answer 2

That's just the major league record. Hank Aaron had 755 home runs in a 23 year career in 12,364 AB and Ruth had 714 HR in 22 seasons and nearly 4000 fewer AB, 8,398. Ruth didn't quit early, he was 39 when he retired in 1935.
The Japanese record is held by Sadaharu Oh with 868. In the old ***** League,s Josh Gibson had over 900 but records weren't as well kept then.

Answer 3

Babe Ruth would have had more home runs, but in the early days of his career the ball didnt travel as far. Also in his early days he was a pitcher and only played every couple days. But then again he never faced any of the great ***** League players, and the right field fence at old Yankee Stadium was well under 300 feet.

Answer 4

Hank Aaron played from 1954-76 Games 3298 At Bats 12,364 Home Runs 755. Babe Ruth played from 1914-35 playing only a few games his rookie season and his final season. He was used primarily as a pitcher from 1914-1918. His final stats are Games 2503 At Bats 8399 Home Runs 714. Aaron played 23 seasons and Ruth played 22 seasons. Ruth hit home runs at a more frequent pace than Aaron 1 homer every 11.7 at bats and Aaron 1 homer every 16.4 at bats.

Answer 5

the leader in home runs is arron, but he played longer than ruth, if you take home runs per at bat, ruth would win out, so ruth is the best home run hitter of all time, but arron has the most.

Answer 6

Aaron played longer, 26 seasons. There is another name you may have never heard of. Josh Gibson. He played only in the ***** league. Although the records have been lost, and weren't that well kept to begin with, it is believed that Josh hit between 800-900 homers.

Answer 7

The MLB record is the only one that counts.

Japanese baseball is not real, and does not count.
