| In [[baseball statistics]], '''at bats per home run''' ('''AB/HR''') is a way to measure how frequently a batter hits a [[home run]]. It is determined by dividing the number of [[at bats]] by the number of [[home runs]] hit. [[Mark McGwire]] possesses the [[Major League Baseball|MLB]] record for this statistic with a career ratio of 10.61 at bats per home run and [[Babe Ruth]] is second, with 11.76 at bats per home run.<ref name=career>[http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/at_bats_per_home_run_career.shtml Career Leaders & Records for AB per HR]. Baseball-Reference.com.
