Clearly Hank Aaron is the home run king. Bonds obviously used steroids.

Albert Pujols will end up with the most home runs in his career when it is over

Bonds, Sosa, McGwire, Palmero, A-Rod do not belong on that list. Hank Aaron ins the homerun king, and Roger Maris is the single season homerun leader.

Incredibly sad. Names like Brooks Robinson and Reggie Jackson mean legend. These new people added to the list don’t have what legends have. You won’t see people like a.rod or barry bonds at special tournaments or sports legennds challenge.

Pete,
Surprised there has been so much gushing on YES about A-Rod tying Reggie given that 1) A-Rod is/was a dirty player, rendering his numbers basically meaningless as far as history is concerned and 2) Reggie’s comments a few weeks back to the effect of not believing A-Rod deserves a place in the record books because he is/was a dirty player. I’m very surprised people forgot what Reggie said so quickly.

Pete,
I knew Sandy Koufax, Sandy Koufax was a friend of mine. Nolan Ryan was no Sandy Koufax.( With apologies to Lloyd Bentson).
All the excuses in the world do not cover up the PED use. Put Mickey Mantle back where he belongs.

You’re counting Hank Aaron and Mays right?

right?

oh wait you’re probably just pushing an idiot sports media agenda which glorifies past “heroes” to appeal to aging baby boomers

I thought the steroid effect was not to make OK hitters into great hitters, but to make good hitters who had “warning-track” fly-balls into home run hitters. This seems to be borne out in the case of Ortiz, and we’ll see about Manny and A-….

Actually Pete, 6 of those, and A-Roid shares a slot with him.

He did the same stuff Arnold and Stallone used.

Take a peek at his growth from 1981 through the end of his career where he hung around Canseco and McGwire…
