700

Here is a thought.

Currently there are 3 players in the history of MLB in the 700 club.

How many of todays active players will make that club? I think 3 maybe 4.

We have...

Barry Bonds- already in

Alex Rodriguez- should get to 500 and will turn 32 this year. With 8 season left in him all he needs is 25 per year, and he is on a tear already this year.

Albert Pujols- barring major injuries is on a better pace than ARod.

4th is a long shot and that is Ken Griffey Jr.

Still staggering to think that in the first 100 years baseball would only see 3 700 HR hitters yet it may have 3-4 active in the current year.

You've got to love that in the "steroid era" (about which I personally couldn't care less) 3/3 potential 700 HR guys have spotless reputations with regards to S and/or HGH.

I really hope that Griffey, Jr. can get there, but I'm not holding my breath.
