Hank Aaron is baseball’s career home run leader with 755 — excluding one player from the performance drug era — despite the fact that, in his best season, he tallied only 47, placing him 77th on the single-season record list.
Outgoing Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is Connecticut’s Hank Aaron of tax hikes, the undisputed career leader, and he has a much better single-season record than Aaron. Malloy’s $2.9 billion in career tax hikes place him way ahead of Lowell Weicker, whose $2 billion increase in 1991 earned him both second place on the career list and the top position for single-season performance.
