When it comes to the all-time home run kings in baseball, one of the most jaw-dropping stats is how many at-bats some of the game’s best long-ball hitters averaged between homers. In the all-time, career record book, Mark McGwire hit one homer every 10.61 at-bats. Aaron Judge is currently sitting at 11.5, while Babe Ruth was 11.76, Barry Bonds came in at 12.92 and Josh Gibson posted a 12.96. Since at-bats don’t factor in walks, it’s hard to say exactly, but these guys were basically averaging hitting a homer every three or four games.
For at least the first decade of their existence, the Rockies were known as a homer-hitting team.
