Hank Aaron now only 2 HR behind Bonds!

Bonds was a juiced up roid monster that has no business being

Bonds was, without question, the greatest hitter to ever play the game.

GilaHank

I agree that he's in the conversation, but without roids how many would he have?

Ruth’s career avg was .342; Bonds .298. Slugging % - Ruth .690; Bonds .607.

I didn't realize Ruth had such a high BA. Impressive

wickedgame71

1/22/21 1:36pm

Not to mention his 94 wins as a pitcher. Never, ever another Babe.

Bluforever

1/22/21 1:39pm

He did seem legendary. I always liked his unimpressive build/portly...

Let me preface this by saying that I'm not discounting Ruth's talent

CaliWG

1/22/21 2:05pm

On the other hand, Ruth's peers weren't hitting home runs

Lost everyone at “without question”. 😂

Absolutely correct. Bonds was insanely good.

StapleGun

Yeah let’s just forget about 500/500, 8 GGs, 3 MVPs

Basically the entire decade of the 90s: '90-'94 & '96-'98

Greatest fielding play of Bonds' career:

I knew someone would post this. Jim Rome talked about this constantly

TheLoanArranger

1/22/21 12:53pm

Seriously, though...how does he not throw out Sid Bream? Terrible throw.

Faceman

1/22/21 12:58pm

I'm not a baseball guy. I was confused when I watched your clip lol

wickedgame71

1/22/21 1:00pm

Was he still a talented fielder during his impressive roid yrs('01-'05)?

wickedgame71

1/22/21 12:58pm

He was good until about 2003 or 2004. After his knee surgery he was subpar.

CaliWG

Coming from an "unbiased" Giants fan right?

RockyBalboa

1/22/21 12:58pm

Im def not a fan of any baseball, nor do I understand details, strategy etc

wickedgame71

1/22/21 1:09pm

Does my fandom change whether he is 500/500 when nobody else is even 400/400?

CaliWG

1/22/21 1:28pm

Bonds was an amazing player. No question about it

RockyBalboa

1/22/21 1:35pm

I hate Barry Bonds but he was an all time great prior to roiding up.

Get Trump on the phone now to find those additional votes, errr, long bombs

RenoCoug

1/22/21 12:03pm

Don't call Trump. He completely failed at finding more votes.

Redemption story for Trump if he can find more HRs for Hank

I'm not a big fan of counting Negro League stats for MLB record keeping

Indy Coug

1/22/21 12:05pm

Agreed. For basketball, ABA stats aren't included in player's NBA totals, right?

RealSimsShadY

1/22/21 12:07pm

Correct, because Julius Erving's 30,000 ABA+NBA points didn't get him on this list

Indy Coug

1/22/21 12:09pm

but MLB has incorporated other previous league's stats already. Hard to distinguish between allowing one league and not

shimmy

1/22/21 12:10pm

Agreed there too. Leave everyone out

RealSimsShadY

1/22/21 12:57pm

Should we now count Ichiro's hits in Japan as well? That would put him second

cougaman

1/22/21 12:08pm

I didn’t agree with it either but since the decision has been made I’m hoping

BYUfan92

1/22/21 12:12pm

Which means a lot of great MLB players faced a lot of sub-MLB talent because

BGRTHNUMEGO

1/22/21 12:21pm

That is a valid rebuttal.

Marc Spector

1/22/21 2:44pm

But also there were so few teams that the talent that did exist was concentrated

TheLoanArranger

1/22/21 2:47pm

I'm on board re: the level of competition, but record keeping is valid concern.

Gorgias

1/22/21 12:30pm

Barry Bond is a tool, would be nice to have Hank Aaron have it again...

Blue Ghost

1/22/21 12:10pm

He is(Bonds) but man could he hit; excellent combo of power/HR & high bat ave!

wickedgame71

1/22/21 12:22pm

Bernie Mac should make a movie about that.

Sea Chicken

1/22/21 12:18pm

If they do this, where does Josh Gibson stand?

TheLoanArranger

1/22/21 12:52pm

It is limited to only official Negro League games with strict requirements on the statistics so it will only be a

shimmy

I heard Bonds hired Rudi Guliani to disqualify those late counts.

Robert Baratheon

1/22/21 1:38pm

Absolutely! I was on my mission in England when Aaron broke Ruth's record...
