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.

[rookiecrd1]

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.

Brian :-)

[Rappy]

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

sorry, just kidding. i haven&#39;t really followed baseball since the Oakland A&#39;s (my local team) had that hot streak in the late 80s. Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco, Ricky Henderson, etc... that was a great time to be an A&#39;s fan. ;)

[Rappy]

Hey they got Zito,Mulder,and Hudson thats pretty good :P

[rookiecrd1]

Bonds just hit his 661st HR. Hes now all alone at #3 alltime

[Rappy]

A-rod has 346 hr so far and acccording to Yankees.com he is 29 years old

Sammy Sosa has 540 hr but he is 36

Pujos has 118 hr he is 24 according to the cardinals site

Ken Griffey Jr. was probably a lock to break Hanks record before he got traded to the Reds. Now he is a shell of what he used to be and thats sad. Griffey has one of the sweetest swings in baseball and I hope that he can recover from those terrible last few years he&#39;s been having.

it may be too late for him he is getting older

He&#39;s only 35. I think that he can still make a run. Hell Bonds is 50 and he&#39;s making a run at the title.
