	The temperament is named in honor of Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron; Ruth having had 714 career home runs, and Aaron breaking Ruth's record with his 715th; both numbers being possible widths of the baseball fifth in cents. The baseball fifth is about as sharp as the <a class="wiki_link" href="/12edo">12edo</a> major third, and provides the characteristic sound of baseball.<br />		The temperament is named in honor of Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron; Ruth having had 714 career home runs, and Aaron breaking Ruth's record with his 715th; both numbers being possible widths of the baseball fifth in cents. The baseball fifth is about as sharp as the <a class="wiki_link" href="/12edo">12edo</a> major third, and provides the characteristic sound of baseball. Although sharp, it is not at all unpleasant, and it's relatively easy to get accustomed to. A 12edo fifth played after a series of baseball fifths may actually sound flat because the listener will have gotten accustomed to the latter.<br />
	<br />		<br />
	Apart from the wide fifth, another characteristic of baseball is that the 5th harmonic is approximated in two different ways (one of which is also very sharp, the other is slightly flat). Both are usable for harmony which gives an unusual situation in which two noticeably different intervals actually have the same just approximation.<br />		Apart from the wide fifth, another characteristic of baseball is that the 5th harmonic is approximated in two different ways (one of which is also very sharp, the other is slightly flat).

	While baseball does not provide a good approximation of the Pythagorean whole tone (9:8) or the 7:9 supermajor third, it does provide good approximations of both 8:7 and 10:9.		While baseball does not provide a good approximation of the Pythagorean whole tone (9:8) or the 7:9 supermajor third, it does provide good approximations of both 8:7 and 10:9.

	Baseball also provides workable approximations of higher limits, too. In particular, since its generator is so close to 13:9, it does a lot of tridecimal intervals very well, and can approximate the barbados triad (10:13:15) with relative ease. Although not as close, the generator can also be taken as a 16:11.		Baseball also provides workable approximations of higher limits, too.
