Well, all I can say is congratulations to Henry Aaron for hitting 755 home runs!

Babe Ruth is still the greatest of all time.

He smoked cigarettes, drank like a fish and generally was a hard party’er while he was a player.

Hank Aaron deserves what he has achieved, after all he earned it. But he had to work for it, Ruth, Just went out and did it for fun.

Yep Aaron and Maris still hold the records in my book. Look for A-Rod to really break the record in about 6 years.

” Well, all I can say is congratulations to Henry Aaron for hitting 755 home runs!”

Well stated, he did the “old way” along with Babe Ruth, etc.

Barry, Mark etc will never compare to the originals.

Hank Aaron is THE MAN (in Baseball), like Walter Williams is THE MAN (in conservatism).
