Bonds hits No. 756 to break Aaron's home run record (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=Aue_N7aS5Ygu7aDd0nCLoOIRvLYF?slug=ap-bonds-756&prov=ap&type=lgns)

Feh. Hank Aaron was a great player and is a great role model. Barry Bonds is...Barry Bonds. Hammerin' Hank is still No. 1 in my book!

[Brock]

Agreed!!! Let's even leave steroids out of the equation.... 17 of the pitchers Aaron hit home runs off of are n the hall of fame, Bond has hit them off of only 5 potential Hall of famers the rest came off of the "average" pitcher... Oh, and how much longer is a season now than it was when Aaron played?

[arnisador]

Yes, absolutely! Steroids barely figure into it. There are enough other reasons to be doubtful of this accomplishment!

Still, after what happened with Roger Maris, I would not want the entry asterisked. That's not good for the sport. But to me...Hank Aaron is till the Home Run King.

[Carol]

Sorry but I found it very hard to get excited about this.

Can I add in few...?

I am not a baseball fan but I find Hank Aaron the best hitter of all time. I can't seem to see if Mr. Bonds an all-time slugger with all those steriods... would he be a good player if hadn't use steriods?

[arnisador]

I'm sure he would have still been good, but he wouldn't be a power hitter like he is now...those hits would be dropping as singles and doubles, not home runs.
