Babe Ruth played 22 major league seasons, although in the first four or five years he was listed as a pitcher-outfieldeBabe played in 2,503 games!; Aaron at the start of the 1973 season, had played in 2,844 major Teague games. Babe had 8,399 at bats; Aaron started the season with 10,896 at bats. Ruth scored 2,174 runs; Aaron had 1,976 runs. Babe had 2,873 hits; Aaron had 3,391 hits. Ruth hit Babe hit season. 136 714 hits; Aaron had hits; Aaron 95. two-bas- e three-bas- e home runs; Aaron had Ruths hits totaled II 572. It 673 to start the bases; Aarons 6,172. Babe was issued 2,056 bases on balls and Sporting News Baseball Register doesnt have Aarons total walks. However, Aaron holds the major league record for most intentional bases on balls at 270. Babes major league batting average was .342; Aarons was .311 at the start of the season. Babe struck out 1,380 times; Aaron 1,159. These are the facts in the record books. By Don Brooks Tribune Outdoor Editor With the promise of better weather over the weekend, more than 200,000 Utah anglers were poised and ready late Friday for Saturdays Good r. 506 Weather to Improve or Fishing Opener opening of the fishing season. The exact number of first-da- y anglers won't be known until all license sales are toted up. But one tiling is certain. The opening weekend turnout will be the largest in the states history, provided the weather holds fair. The comparison offers points for conjecture, and you may want to clip and save these figures to settle arguments as the season progresses and Aaron comes closer to the Bambinos lifetime record of 714 home runs.

No contact was available at popular Fish Lake, but Wildlife Resource officers at Richtraffield said considerable fic was headed that way. Another busy spot was Lake Powell Forecast And the promise of good weather was bright Friday night despite the glowering clouds that muttered their threats of rain over most of Utah. The National Weather Service forecast passage of the storm front and predicted only partly cloudy weather Saturday morning. The clearing trend is expected afternoon and night. It should be generally fair Sunday, the agency said, and that prediction encompassed the entire state. Huge Lake Powell, which has been producing great catches of bass in past weeks, lured many anglers away from the trout waters. Good turnouts were reported on hand late Friday at both Bullfrog and Wahweap. Flaming ' Gorge Reservoir also was drawing its share of d anglers although it is a fishing water. Many of the fishermen headed for year-aroun- Comparing the athletes of different eras is impossible, because of changing conditions. You may argue in Babes case that he was batting against pitchers who could doctor the baseball and point & out some of the immortals pitching in Ruths glory. In Aarons defense, you could mention night baseball, tougher travel conditions, use of the platoon pitchers, where one guy throws as hard as he can, as long as he can, and then is relieved by another fresh pitcher. It might be an interesting statistic to see how many of Babes home runs were hit late in the game, off a tiring pitcher. Aaron rarely gets to face a tiring pitcher, because they dont stay in the game once they start to weaken. The whole pitching situation is changed, and so have the batters. As someone of himself care punted out recently, had Babe taken as Aaron has, babe may have hit 900 home runs. On the other hand, had Aaron been in the majors in Babe Ruths day, he may have succumbed to the same temptations of the flesh which got Babe, and Hank may have ballooned up to 280 pounds and hit 100 home runs. Remember the Records feat. Just to give the proper perspective, I checked the record book and found three pitchers won doubleheader SHUT OUTS in one afternoon. These afternoon and evening.
