Barry Bonds
 

I don't know who the baseball fans are but Barry Bonds just hit his 600th career homerun. What an awesome feat, absolutely amazing. Just the 4th person to ever have 600 career homeruns!

cool i dont really watch baseball till the world series, but quite a milestone for barry.:D

thats awesome...

so who has #1?

hank aaron - 755 hr's.:D

whos 2nd and 3rd? teehee...youd htink babe ruth might be...wonder if bonds will try to break hank aaron...i dont think that should happen...hank aaron should always be #1...

dont hold me to this but, i think babe is 2nd & willie may's 3rd?

Hank Aaron- 755
Babe Ruth- 714
Wille Mays- 660
Barry Bonds 600



It would take 2-3 years to break Aarons record.

heheh, my old timer's hasnt got me yet i was about 99 percent sure i was right, but, i cant remember 10 minutes ago, what was i saying? hahaha.:D :D

If he keeps hitting 60+ a year. Remember now, it wasn't too long ago that 61 seemed an insurmountable record, and Bonds isn't getting pitches this year.

Barry Bonds HR record
 

Barry Bonds is 38 years old and the odds of him playing and hitting at a strong, consistent pace long enough to break the Hank Aaron record are slim to none, the Babe Ruth record, slim, and the Mays record...possibly, if he doesn't get injured, no strike, no slumps, etc.

I think Sammy Sosa has a better chance to break the record than Barry. He's youger and gets more pitches to hit because the Cubs suck.

I think both Sammy and Barry have a good shot at breaking Hanks record. It may take a move to the American League for Barry though. It doesnt matter though, A Rod is going to surpass them all.

In terms of the overall home run record, the person who will be the next record holder, barring injuries, is Sammy Sosa. He is averaging 60 home runs a year since 1998. Right now I believe he is at 492 career and 40 for the season....he should easily reach 510 this year if there is no strike. At that pace, he should have the record by the 2007 season at age 37. A Rod is a good hitter, but we are jumping the gun on him breaking the record. He still hasn't reached the 300 plateau and there are several guys who hit close to the same numbers up to this point in their career(250 plus home runs by 27) and then slacked off. A good example is Griffey who everyone thought would continue on the pace he had but injuries slowed him. The other thing to think about was brought up earlier....imagine what Barry would do if he got more pitches...last season he set the single season home run record and the single season walk record...he also leads the majors in walks this year. And remember Mr 5.0, Hank got the home run record at what age?? :p :p
