Home run record

i still refuse to believe barry bonds is the home run king. if it was up to me, hank would still be #1. the person that should have broken should have been griffy, but we all know what happended. when i look at other players, there's only a few that might have a shot, and the one i would like to see would be a-rod or even pujols (even though that might be a long shot). sorry i had to vent

who would you have liked or like to see break it?

It takes a lot of skill, but also a lot of luck. A few injuries and you go from having a good chance to NO chance at the record.

Anyway I'd be cool with seeing someone break the record provided they're clean.

I consider Bonds the home run king because he passed the record. Roids or not, he broke the record. The big wigs in baseball let it go so they could line their pockets and nobody knows how many pitchers used it that Bonds faced so to me, he's the record holder. Be mad at the MLB for letting this go on for so long. You can't tell me that a lot of the pitchers didn't use the stuff and that Bonds didn't face any of those pitchers. So, yeah, the MLB let it go to make money so... whatever. Bonds is the HR king.nickdastick

Bingo. Get over it people, and root that much harder for A Rod or someone else (but not Pujols...he's apparently quite the poo-hole...no better than Bonds).

Exactly. Just root harder for the guy you want to break it. I think ARod will do it though. Only time will tell though.

Pujols easily has a shot IMO.

It's only his third season, but Fielder could give it a run if he could keep it up :P

And he could have certinly done 255 home runs over 485 games.Master_Jdog

Bit of an exaggeration, don't you think? At that rate, he'd be hitting 80-85 per season.

it doesn't matter to me because I know Arod will break it eventuallyandyboiii

As he breaks his leg in his next game lol

jesus, average 55 a season? So now he has to average 1 less then his all time high of 56? He is a career 40 hr Hitter but jesus you want him to have 3 55 HR seasons in a row when he has only managed to break 50 twice!

PS: 3x55=165 not 155

Yeah there's no way Griffey would hit 55 HR for three straight seasons. He only hit 56 (did it twice) in the prime of his career. Also, there's another flaw in your statement. Between 2001 and 2007 Griffey averaged 22 HR per year. Adding the 56* 3 years to his total career home runs doesn't work especially considering that he hit 22 HR per year for that stretch. Perhaps adding 10-15 HR to his totals for those years would be more appropriate.

It's not like Griffey was hitting 0 HR during those years.
