Career At Bats Per Home Run Ratio Leaders:

1. Mark McGwire 10.61

2. Babe Ruth 11.76

3. Barry Bonds 12.88

4. Jim Thome 13.54

5. Albert Pujols 14.06

6. Manny Ramirez 14.07

7. Ralph Kiner 14.11

8. Harmon Killebrew 14.22

9. Sammy Sosa 14.29

10. Adam Dunn 14.30

Interesting list. I remember looking at the career leaders for home run ratio when I was a wee lad and seeing the top 3 as Babe Ruth, Ralph Kiner, and Harmon Killebrew. Now 7 of the top 10 are guys who've played the majority of their career since then. What's the reason? Juiced players? Juiced balls? Poor pitching? Better conditioning? Some combination of all of the above?
