I do think he will get close to Ruth because he feels like he should be the best. One way or another he will do what he has too, so he can get the extra money and records.
One thing I don't agree with is that the Yanks can't release him because of the PA. Players get released all the time during contracts, they still get their money so nothing wrong is happening.
Although I just wish the Yankees would release him so he can fade away. If only MLB was like OOTP
