Will A-Rod break the home run record?

Even if Barry Bonds passes Hank Aaron, you guys think A-Rod will pass both of them?

Hard to stay healthy for that long, so my vote would be no.

I believe he will. He is 31 years old and is at 465. He will need to play to about 38-40 and remain healthy but he is proven to be very durable and I think he will eclipse the mark about to be set by Bonds.

I voted no. I think he will definatly get close to 700 but there's no telling if he is going to stay healthy long enough to breaking the record. Bonds also had the luxury of having his peak years after he turned 35 and there is no way Arod will have that luxury.

The option of DH is available for AROD if he stays in the AL so I vote yes.

Yes. He will break the record by a mile going at his pace.

Doesn't matter. Pujols is going to go past all of them.

honestly if a rod can stay healthy theres no doubt. i think even andruw jones has a shot. and pujols of course

I think it depends on when Bonds retires. He could hit 850 no problem, I think. I don't think anyone but Pujols really has a shot at that.

health is the biggest factor, we just dont know how these guys bodies will react when they hit their mid 30s which starts the massive decline for most players.

Yeah, I also think Andruw Jones has a chance, Iono about Puljos, just because we still haven't seen him reach a certain age. And I also think that people are right about the Barry Bonds thing, Barry was in his late 30s when he made the run towards 600, so we will just have to wait and see for A-Rod.
