Gee as late as he came back and all the racist and anti-Ruthian comments he made my guess is:
He came back with just enough time to beat Ruth's mark, AND late enough so that if he is popped for steroids, by the time appeals and all the machinations are played through the season will be over and he'll at least have beat Ruth.
Then he'll retire (as part of a plea deal, MLB wouldn't want it out he popped and by retiring noone would ever have to know) and not go after Aaron's.
But if he isn't popped, he'll go after Aaron's next year and risk getting popped. (But like him or hate him MLB sees $$$$$$$ BIGTIME in his chase for the record.)
