“The trouble with this ?record? is that he has made it impossible for someone, who has not used steroids, to top it.”
Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees will probably hit 800 if he stays healthy. A-Rod is already at 500 and he just turned 32. Bonds is 42. Rodriguez could hit 60 this year.
Could be, but Bonds isn't done. He has the highest on-base % in MLB this year (.479), and obviously he can still hit the long ball. As I mentioned earlier in the thread Bonds knows full well A-Rod will be breathing down his neck in a few years and therefore wants to put this record out of sight. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up around 850. ...or higher. Especially if he can get a gig in the AL as a DH.
