I think McGwire's 2000 becomes even more impressive when you realize he hit 21 HR in just April and May - over a measly 181 AB.

It's still impressive, a HR every 10 PAs. Regarding McGwire, he did have 321 PAs, due to a very large number of walks (24% of PAs). It’s still impressive, a HR every 10 PAs.
