Ever since I've been in baseball,
or rather since I've turned into an

ton. That is to hit 500 home runs
during my big league career. Unless

500 mark this coming season. l
have only a few to go-less than 80,
I believe, and when I hit my five
hundredth home run believe Will
have established one mark that TlIl
last long, long after Babe Ruth IS
out of baseball and forgotten.
A lot of people keep asking me II
think there ever will be another
hitter who will hit more home runs
than I do. That, too, is foolish
sort of question. I really don't
know. Every ball player, OF course,
hopes that he can establish a mark
that no other ball player ever will
top. I'm no different than the rest.
Frankly, now that I have almost
assured myself of my 500 goal in
home runs there are some other
records I'd like to attain. I'd like,
once during my big league career
to hit over 400 for the Season-and
maybe establish a new batting aver
age for the boys to shoot at.
Even more than that, however,
Id like to set a new mark for runs
driven in. I thought had that one

ago and then Lou Gehrig came

pieces.
And let me make a little predlc-

with big league baseball, Lou Geh-
rig is likely to shatter a lot Of bat

we're unbeatable. Frankly 1 don't
think Lou ever will beat my season

the type of hitter to do it. But l
do look for him to set a new high
mark for runs driven Inland if
there's a man in the league who
has a chance to tie me on lifetime
home runs record. Lou is that
boy. And more power to him if
he can do it.
If my record is to be broken then
I hope some member of the Yankee
ball club does the breaking, and if
anyone is going to do it, hope it
is Lou. He's a great kid, and a
great pal of mine. Somehow l feel
a sort of personal interest in all
he does.

Swered that home run question or
