Well not sure how a guy in his 40's hits more home runs than when he was in his 20's an early thirties (prime of career) Yeah a lot of them cheated...Bonds, Giambi, Sosa, McGwire and whole host more....anyone remember Brady Anderson? 50 homers in 96 from a 185lb guy? Another cheater, Pudge Rodriguez..look how tiny he is now....Jim Thome...screaming roid monster..heck I even have my doubts about Big Papi


In any event Hammering Hank is the true king...pure talent..I remember watching him hit that dinger in Fulton County Stadium (on TV)

Doesn't help that Bonds is a total a-hole to boot. Saying he is innocent until proven guilty is like saying OJ didn't do it

Oh I forgot about Gonzo in Arizona.....or heck Nomar as well...man I could go on and on...OH........how could I forget about one of the biggest cheats still going? Roger?? Hello?

They say either Alex or Albert have a shot of breaking the HR record after bonds many years away. A-rod should reach 500 HR's at the end of this season and he's 31.

A-Rod has a real shot at the all time record only if he can stay healthy.He definitely has the talent.Even if the New York press fries him every year for his post season let-downs.He is a big part of the Yankees even getting that far.It's a shame for a 200 million dollar team to not be winning it every year.

You want a scoop on Barry? I use to collect autographs as a hobby, and tried many times to get Barry to sign anything. Now I understand him not wanting to sigh for an adult as there are many(and I have a few)sell the autographs. But for kids that is a different story. As a Player he can tell who collecters are and sellers are, he refused to sigh anything for kids, ball bat glove, or chewing gum paper. This was done long before he broke the season record. He is on one big ego trip and stuck up and sorry to say but prejuice.
Now on the homerun record? I do not want to see him break it. I do not wish bad things to happen to anyone, but it would not hurt my feelings one bit to see himbreak a leg and never be able to come back and play.
Sorry to those of you that like him and want to see him break it , I just dont wont it to be him

Goose if you are saying Gonzo took them the year he won the home run derby, your wrong. This was pointed out to himwhen this happened and he said he will take a test right then and there. Others I wont argue with
