Will barry Bonds break Hank Aaron's record?

I don't buy that he will retire.  He is arrogrant and will want the record all for himself.  If he doesn't break it within the next year year, he'll probably demand to go to an AL team where he can DH and hit out of the park without having to worry about the phyiscal strain of playing the field on the steroid-less body.\n\nI always thought that he would break Ruth's and then stop because the public scrutiny for number 2 is always less than number 1.  But I don't think he will stop and I think he will break the record, unfortunately.  And although Aaron will never say it outright, he will be disappointed that his record wasn't broken by someone with class and dignity, but by someone who will always have the collective consciousness of an asterik next to his name.

Chances are very low.Bonds has been swarmed by steroid use,media,and hatred.He is getting old and is losing what he has left in him.\n  He'll proboaly retire at the end of the season at 727

No, baseball won't do that.  The historic awards will remain as they are...\n\nKen Caminiti (sp?) won the NL MVP award one year, and before he died, he flat out admitted he was on steroids at the time... they didn't strip him of the award, and the same will be true of Bonds..\n\nBesides, how do we know the runners-up weren't on something as well? In some cases it might be obvious, but in other cases the runner-up's credentials perhaps could also be questioned.

NO.  IF this is his last season, he will not break it.  Even if he IS healthy all season, pitchers will pitch around him.  He needs 48 home runs to break the record.  He only hit 45 in 03 and 45 in 04 playing 130 and 147 games.  There is no way he is going to get close to that many games again with his bad knees.  He will need two more seasons to do it.\n\nI think that with all of the controversy around him.  He is going to bow out second on the list after this season.  He does not want the media attention on himself or his family.  Just the fact that he is second is going to give him more coverage than he would like.\n\nMLB themselves are not sure how they want to acknowledge any records that he may get because of the controversy.

Why would you honor someone for being #2?  Hank Aaron is the Home Run King not Babe Ruth.  Therefore, there he shouldn't be honored.  Also, with the his shady image regarding steroids he doesn't deserve to be honored.  MLB would be sending the wrong image if they honor him if or when he breaks Hank Aaron's record.

In a career - Hank Aaron (755).  In a season - Barry Bonds (73).

Definitely. Bonds is the face of the Giants. Ask anyone on the streets anywhere (even the little kids) to name a player from the SF Giants and most everyone will answer Bonds. Though Bonds' speed has greatly diminished (taking away his basestealing threat), he is still a threat to hit one out of the park every time he steps up to the plate. I'm too young to have witnessed most of Bonds' other feats (esp. his speed on the basepaths), but he has been the most exciting player to watch in baseball for the past few years while he was hitting homers at that torrid pace. We might never see another player like Bonds...not only in SF but anywhere else in the league for that matter - and most Giants fans realize this..which is why they still love him. Barry will always be Barry, despite his bad attitude and alleged steorid use...you can't deny he's had tremendous impact on the game of baseball. Fact of the matter is, if it weren't for Barry, half the fans who come out to the park probably even wouln't show up at AT&T this year.

No -- the major league record is only 755 (Hank Aaron) and I believe the record in Japan is 800-something, so I don't think anyone has hit that many homeruns, let alone someone named Tony.

Bobby and Barry Bond have 332 and 734. The also have the most RBIs and Stolen Bases of any father-son Combo

He is about the same age as Aaron was in Aaron's last two seasons. Hank hit a total of 22 homers over those last two seasons. If Barry has similar numbers it will take him 3.5 more years. I dont see him playing that long.

"Hammering" Hank Aaron

Also don't forget that Babe Ruth was an all-star pitcher for the first 2 or 3 years of his baseball career, so bonds hasn't matched anything in my mind.  If he can go out and win 20 games in the next 2 or 3 years pitching the baseball then he may have matched the record. Even at that he is a steroid using cheater.

I think that Barry Bonds should be up there with his godfather, Willie Mays, but not with the babe and hank arron. Without the steriods he still would have hit a ton, even if what the book Game of Shadows says is true, and he started in 1998, the pace that he was going on, he still probably would have reached 600. And even 600 is enough to be put in the same category as the babe and aaron, but not worthy of being on the exact same level as the two greatest homerun hitters of all time.

Check out the best baseball stat website at http://www.baseball-reference.com/\n\nAll-Time:\nBabe Ruth\nWalter Johnson\n\nStill active:\nBarry Bonds\nRoger Clemens\n\nTrue, Bonds' numbers may be elevated due to 'roids.  Maybe in a few years A-Rod or Pujols will post better career numbers.  In any case, check out the site and draw your own conclusions.

i think cy young's victory record is the only record that is unbreakable.  i suppose that doesn't make him necessarily the best.  walter johnson was supposed to be awesome.  ever hear the story about bob feller?  he threw a called strike to a guy, and the batter said "it sounded low."
