...Babe's magic number has other meanings as well. Ruth was larger than life, (see box next page) a carefree superman in a giddy era. Aaron cannot depose him no matter how many home runs he hits. But Aaron, by comparison merely a flesh-and-blood Everyman, demonstrates that a hero need not be mythic...
