ScriptOhio: "Do you think A-Rod will eventually pass Aaron in home runs?"
Maybe. He's gotta stay healthy. It will be difficult for a righthanded hitter to chase a record like that in Yankee Stadium.
Luca: "I don't know if he will stay long enough...unless he does not have a ring."
A-Rod is signed through 2010, I believe. He's got at least 5 more seasons after this one. And lets hope he gets a ring or two in that span: the Yanks have $50 million coming off the books this year, another $50 coming off in '07, won't have to pay luxury tax until 2009, and have a new Stadium (i.e. new revenues) coming in. So George might go on a spending spree ..
BB73: "I think the other stat was runs scored. He won't pass Rose in hits, but he's got a real shot at the other categories."
There's no way anyone comes close to Rose's record. Other than 511 & .367, that record is pretty much unbreakable. You'd have to get over 200 hits for 21 seasons to break it .. look at Aaron & Musial (both of whom played FOREVER): they're at 3,600 (or so), 600 hits (the equivalent of 3 to 4 more prime seasons) away from Rose.
