Will A-Rod Pass the Babe?
Alex Rodriguez currently stands at 687 home runs, 27 shy of Babe Ruth’s 714. A-Rod hit 33 dingers in 2015, so its possible he could pass El Bambino’s record in 2016. However, some credit this surge to batting behind Mark Texiera. Once he lost that cover, a noticeable decline began. Coverage in the batting order or not, Rodriguez will turn 40 this year and has logged over 20 years in the big leagues. At this stage of a career a player can get old overnight. Does A-Rod have enough left in the tank to break the record in 2016? He hit a home run on his first swing of the spring, so maybe he does?
