Those words will haunt Hank someday if Barry ends up in the AL as a DH. |

Ordinarily, I'd say you are right, but I think the percentage of fans that will always consider Aaron the "real" HR leader (and Maris too, for that matter) is astronomically high.

if I had any respect for baseball, I might have to give him some credit. From my perspective, he's the best cheater this era has produced (who is clean, and why should I believe that claim?)... I dislike barry, but what's truly absurd is how many known cheaters (by the MLB) are still promoted by baseball while Barry is burned at the stake, basically alone.
I heard a statistic recently that said if Ruth (maybe Aaron, not sure which) played in this 'hitter's park' era, he would have over 1000 HR's.

Bonds is a cheater? I see...
So, roids weren't being used by Pitchers?
In Bond's era, they didn't bring in a fresh arm come the 7th inning? I know they didn't back in Ruth's day....
I'm not a huge fan of Bonds either, just saying thems a lot of HRs, juiced or not... and even if he was juiced, so was his competition. You don't gain 5 MPH on your fastball after the age of 35 either, folks.

Ruth's bat weighed more than you do. Think about that.
