>>a more recent one-arm player in the majors

>Or maybe just one-handed?

well, he did keep his glove on the stub while he pitched the ball.

The Cubs, at least in modern history, have not had any first-class player, even one in the twilight of his career.
And what is Sammy Sosa, pray tell?
e.g. tied with Ruth and McGuire for most seasons of 50+ home runs.
(I expect to serve you an extra helping of crow after the close of this season.)

The suspense is killing musick.

I forget the question. Oh, wait, yeah, that question.

The clue: Ruth finished his career out with the Boston Braves.

Ruth, Mays and Aaron all played for two different teams in respective cities: Ruth for the Boston Red Sox and Braves (bookending his years with the Yankees), Mays the NY Giants and Mets, and Aaron the Milwaukee Braves and Brewers (this in addition to being the only members of the 600-homer club (so far)).

it should be noted that Ruth was regularly hitting 50 in the '20s when no one else came close to it. nowadays Brady frappin' Anderson hits 50!
