Babe Ruth's 60th.
No other hit in history has come close to generating so many discussions and arguments. It seems like all premier sluggers over the past 75 years have had to face comparisons to the 60 home run season. Is Foxx going to be the guy to break it? How about Greenberg? Mantle? Even guys like Griffey and McGwire. Four guys have topped it, but were their achievements tainted or blemished? Yes, no, maybe? That is a matter of opinion, but we still continue to have these discussions (or arguments) because of #60 in 1927.
