Barry Bonds

Will he break Aarons all-time Homerun record and if so, when?

What do you think about the whole steroid issue?

I think he still has a chance, he only needs approximately 530 more at bats (he is averaging a homer every 13 at bats and he is 41 homers behind aaron). And as much as i would like to say his homers hit while on steriods should not be counted as far as the record book is concerned, you may as well count them since the advantage of far more games played per season will never be repealled giving current players a greater change to pass the old records.

actually he is about 94 HRs behinds Aaron I believe.

I think that he can break the all time home run record IF he remains health and he can continue his success.

I don't think that he will be able to stay healthy though because of the wear and tear that he has put on his body. I know that he is amazing shape but at 40 years old he will start to break down more often. Mark Mcgwire was on the same kind of tear but his body started to break down and he was forced to retire.

I do think that Barry did take steroids because you don't build that much muscle mass that late into your career. If you look at when he played for the Pirates he was a thin and lean, now at 40 years old he's a mutant. But the same can also be said about Mcgwire when he player for Oakland and about Sammy Sosa to some extent.

Alex Rodriguez may have a shot, Albert Pujols possibly too.

Pujols is supposedly like 22 or 23 years old. I have a feeling he is lying about his age sicne he looks like hes about 35.

well he may be one of those guys that came over from another country and lied about their age so teams would invest a lot of money in them
