    Barry Bonds closing in on 700 career Home runs

    With 694 home runs on his career Barry Bonds should eclipse 700 by the end of this season becoming only the third player in MLB history to reach the milestone.

    Bonds is 40 years old. Do you think he has it in him to break the all-time record set by Hank Aaron? He will catch Ruth early next season. If he sticks around until 2006 there is a chance he will break the record.

    Age and the fact that pitchers refuse to pitch to him are the only things setting him back.

    If he breaks the record it will surely be the biggest accomplishment in American sports in my life time.


    Top three career home run leaders:

    Player At bats HR AVG. SLG%
    1,AARON 12364 755 .305 .555

    2,RUTH 8399 714 .342 .690

    3,BONDS 9024 694 .300 .609

                              If Babe Ruth didn't spend his first five years as a pitcher or if he didnt party and get suspended so much

                              I wonder how many he could of got in total..

                                                          When Babe Ruth played the seasons were shorter. I don't think you can ever compare anyone to Ruth, he was hitting more home runs then any other whole teams were at the time.

                                                          I think what Bonds is doing is amazing in that he is 40 years old and out playing everyone else in the sport. It would be cool if opposing picthers would just man up and throw to him more often. Also, Bonds will break definitly break and own the home run record before he retires, he is showing NO signs of slowing down so he has a few years left. Who knows maybe he'll play ntil he's 50 lol.

If it didnt help why is it illegal, give it up. He sucked ass for years just like sammy sosa. Boom outta the woodwork at a much older age to boot

                                                                                                                                                                          then you can pay scientists to figure out the correlation between strength and home runs for mlb players if you want actual real numbers from a study.

I just think it does a disservice to his accomplishments to cry "steroids" because of the take off late in his career...

                                                                                                                                                                                  maybe he was a late bloomer? I just think it does a disservice to his accomplishments to cry "steroids" because of the take off late in his career...
