Babe Ruth had 714 homers, which was a good thing expect when Hank Aaron took it away!

The New Jersey oilers had him for the 5 seasons of power.
Played winter haven before that as third string, traded twice
and sold for a month to the tigers. For the Red sox call up
when they played atlanta or florida during early pros he had
30. He had 5 for the tigers in two games. He had 104 in
the minors warming up first string and interleague minors.
He went to New york and Cleveland had a team in arizona,
with 106 and 62/ then the babe went to the naval yard and
was allowed to play 50 games while in basics, he was an
officer of the Brittish navy. Went into navy duty for 1.5 years
won medals and ambassador to U.S., then went to the
pittsburgh minors to retrain. Hit 32 as third string. 6 more in training. Sold to the Boston Braves for 11 seasons hit
445, back to oilers now the orioles hit 51 in one season.
Bought back by the Yankees hit 18 more before retiring.
Pro total no playoffs 755. Still undecided by investment
team oilers or senators whether he played more pros while
on base in florida. One story says he batted 1000 for the
first 6 games with 6 homeruns for the senators had a team.
Another new total says 101 or 111 while in navy. There is
a bubblegum card sold for 2.2 million in santo dominica
in 1927 for that collector holds a book says he finished at
818. 32 in playoffs of 34 games. One final total is 888.

I did some math based on Ruth's totals compared to his peers and the same with Aaron and Bonds.
In Bonds' career years, 86-2007, compared to his peers, Ruth would have hit 1912 home runs, Aaron's adjusted # would be 918 and Bonds' # still at 762.
This would be the adjusted accomplishment of their home runs, not just the one-dimensional # people are fixed on.

715. In 1969 he was awarded an extra home run because of the rule change that allowed all runs hit on a home run to score. Before that, only the winning run was allowed, so if the game were tied and a fella hit a grand slam he would be awarded just a single and one RBI. Ruth had hit a two run homer in such a case and was given a triple and one RBI. The home run was rectified in 1969, but then it became apparent that several players had legitimate shots at his record. The home run was taken away for fear that 714 might be the stopping point for the best of these guys and they didn't want to make it look like they were pulling for the Babe's record never to be broken.
Oh, yeah. World Series -- 730 then. Can't guess about minors, All-Star, and exhibition added. And spring training.
