Yes.. I was just about to post Arod.
Bonds 762
Arod 572
Difference 190
Arod is 34 years old so if he plays until 40 and averages 35 per year he will pass Bonds. Very possible and very likely I think.
Except A-Roid won't have the luxury of steroids so late in his career...
He has had the luxury of steroids his whole career...and why won't he have it late in his career? HGH is still undetectable without blood testing - which MLB doesn't do.

It will be tough for him as well. He is at 400-410 HRs (I think) and is 31. He needs another 350 HRs...so he has to average 35 a year for the next 10 years. If he can stay healthy and not miss too many games - then maybe. He will need couple seasons where he hits 50 HRs each year, and then continue to hit 30+ till he is 40.
agreed it will be tough. this year will be huge.."contract" year
i think baseball prospectus, or someone like that did a study on the so called "contract year", and debunked the myth that players perform better because of it overall. in some cases they do, in some they dont, but most stay about who they are. its just some guys have a knack for it, like Beltre going nuts during his, or Andruw Jones taking a dump for his.

Something in my gut tells me ARod falls just a little short. I see him having a monster year this season just like everyone however I see him tapering off soon. Maybe an injury to the hip again or something that effects 2 years or more or maybe something Bo Jackson like where he can't comeback at all or he just comes back and totally blows just playing out his contract for all that $$.
I'd love Albert to get it.

Josh Gibson is the home run king. No one will beat it...at least no one in the league right now.

i don't think anyone will break it. But out of Aroid or Pujols i would rather see Pujols do it. Not because i think he's clean but because he's not a douche like Aroid.
