Hmmm, so Bonds hit the record breaking bomb...
But who really cares...he broke a 33 *I think* year old record held by The Hank. So Bonds in his career will probably end with about 763, thats my prediction, assuming he retires at the end of this year.
As you all well know, I am a die hard WhiteSox fan, have been my entire life, will be the rest of my life, and I HATE the Yankees and hate A-Rod more...but lets look at a few things. A-Rod, at least to my knowledge has never done steriods at all. He is a natural talent, and I will give him that, he really is. A-rod is only 32 years old and is sitting at the prime number of 500 Home runs...hit in ONLY 12 and a half seasons. If A-rod stays healthy and plays only until he turns 40, which is 8 more full seasons, he will need only average 32 homers a year to tie the record that Bonds sits at right now. I figure A-rod will play until 42 and be the first player to hit 800 homers *only needing 30 per year, and not counting in the home runs he will hit the rest of this year*.
So in essence, what I am saying, is that A-rod will break this record. A-rod has 5 seasons (plus this one more than likely considering he has 36) in which he has hit 40-50 home runs, and 2 seasons that he has hit 52+. I think A-rod will definately do it with ease, especially if he stays in the American League.
