Barry ties Aaron. 755.

[theoutlaw321]

Off Clay Hensley for those keeping score at home. On a 2-1 count leading off the second.

Baseball, basketball or American Football is my guess!
Having talked to Outlaw..... Im going with Baseball

Baseball's most hallowed record. Bonds ties Aaron for 755 career home runs.

Personally, I only dislike it because I'm a Braves fan. People can take all their speculation and steroids talk elsewhere, all it has become is a witch hunt.

[theoutlaw321]

Baseball. All time homerun record.

[masterded]

After rereading it I feel very dumb. Barry Bonds tied Hank Aaron for the most Home runs in a career. I feel ever so dumb right now. As an american who kind-of fallows baseball, I feel I should be beaten right now.

[theoutlaw321]

I'm with Biggz, more of a witch hunt. If it was okay when the homeruns got the game back in favor with the fans with the homerun chase with McGwire and Sosa, then it has to be okay now.

I in no way condone steriod usage. I'm just stating a point.

No problem man. I wasn't specific. Plus I figure that you may have had a few already?

Im at work for another hour so no. Though sitting here is driving me a little nuts.

Baseball eh.... I don't like it. That was the question wasn't it?

I'm a fan of bonds, but I do have to say that since nothing is proved, and nothing is set in stone that bonds was on steriods from day A through day B, there's no way they can take the record away from him. Although, the record does seem to have diminished in the eyes of alot of baseball fans, it's an impressive record that sets the standards for everyone. I've played baseball alot and the only homerun I've gotten was an inside the park Hr. And I have to give Bonds the credit he deserves. And from personal experience, it takes more skill to hit the ball, than to put it over the wall.

August 4th is a great day for baseball, as 2 records are added to the book, Bonds ties the alltime Home Run record, and A-Rod is the youngest person to reach 500 Home Runs at the very young age of 32. When Bonds retires, A-Rod could probably easily break the new record. He's been on a roll as of late averaging around 40 Homers a year. If he keeps up the same pace, he'll have easily beaten it by the time he's 40.

Since Babe Ruth hit half his home runs drunk, I'm still more impressed with him (not that he was a drunk, but that he set the record with chemical inhibition, not enhancement)

[theoutlaw321]

I do feel that A-Rod, barring injury, will be the one that will one day break whatever mark that is eventually set by Bonds.

I think Griffey Jr would be close if he hadn't lost 3-4 years due to injury. One of those could have been things.

Chemically enhanced or not. Stand in a batter's box and have someone throw a 90-95 mph fastball and try and make contact. Or even harder still, a curve ball or slider that breaks 3 feet in the last 5-6 feet before it gets to the plate. I'm not an overwhelming Bonds fan, but 755 homeruns, is 755 homeruns.
