If there is one thing certain about baseball, it\'s that no record is set in stone. I\'m sure someone will break .400 again clean. could be next year, could be 100 years from now, but it will happen again.

could very well be manny this year if he stays in the quad A league. imagine if he played 1/3 of his games against the rockies/padres/giants...not to mention the games against the pirates/reds/nats.

As far as I\'m concerned:

Single Seasom HR Record = Maris
All Time HR Record = Aaron

Manny needs to actually be signed by a team first...

He\'s good, no doubt, but 72 home runs a year good and not Hank Aaron good.

So you really think that Bonds deserves both records?  If so, he deserves to have one hell of an asterisk next to those numbers...

yes, with no asterisks.  if someone wants to do steroids, it\'s their choice.


i mean, apparently most everyone else was doin steroids too and they didn\'t hit 73 homers.


and hank aaron is my favorite baseball player of all time. read his autobiography and wrote a paper on him and everything

He deserves the records, no asterisks.

A general summary of time (steriod era) should be mentioned in the history of baseball, but I do not think that any of the records set during said era should be marked.

Barry Bonds was already one of the greatest baseball players in the game when leaving Pittsburgh.

i respectfully disagree... i tend to think that he would have made a run at him, juice or no juice... juice doesn\'t make you swing the bat right and read pitchers well....

and if the general public didn\'t tweak out about the steroids thing he would have been signed by another team the last two years and he\'d have over 800 homeruns by now

Loves the fact that Aaron wanted nothing to do with Bonds breaking the record.  That shows how he felt about Bonds and his steriod use.  Sorry, but just because a lot of players use/d steriods and you think it\'s okay, doesn\'t make it okay.  It may have not been against MLB rules, but it was against the law.  If that doesn\'t taint a record, I don\'t know what does...

MLB has had a ban against drugs since the 1970s which has been getting broader ever since.

I also heard Aaron wanted nothing to do with Bonds breaking the record because he was done with baseball and would rather spend the time on the golf course.
