No one will ever reach a thousand or even 900. I think there are a couple players now who might reach the early 800's but that's it. Maybe 810 or 820 at the most. The problem today is the steroids which will probably allow players to beat Aaron sooner or later.

No. The longest homerun each and every hit replaced into with the aid of Mickey Mantle of the huge apple Yankees against the Detroit Tigers on September 10, 1960 in Briggs Stadium. It went 634 ft. despite the fact that maximum estimates on how long a homerun is hit are faulty, (there are a number of components to contemplate.) Mickey Mantle's homerun continues to be seen to be the longest homerun ever hit. possibly there have been others to hit farther or come close, (no it is common to ever be confident. it rather is in simple terms approximately impossible to calculate how some distance it is going.) yet i'm confident none of them have ever reached 1000 ft. for sure, it may be hit out of the park, by using fact no MLB stadium is that huge. however the ball could ought to hit some thing after which give up flying in the process the air. it would be a ask your self if every person hit 1000-foot homerun. think of how not hardship-free it may be to come across! i don't think of it rather is achieveable. The human physique has limits. Yankees Love. <3

No, no one will play long enough. That's 50 HRs a year for 20 years.
In response to your note, it took Hank 23 years to get to 755. While parks may be getting smaller and players more powerful, they're also facing a lot more pitchers and a lot of situations where teams will pitch around a HR hitter vs. give him the chance to beat them. Hank's mark has stood for over 30 years now.

No. Now that MLB is FINALLY doing something about roids, I think it will be awhile before someone even hits 800. It would be a heck of a long career, no injuries, etc. to get to 1000 for a person with a head that doesn't grow like Baroid's.

Never Happen!! Allot of the home runs hit in the last few years were with steroid use. With more testing now we are already seeing a drop in the amount of home runs.

Very doubtful.....unless you can dig up Babe Ruth and give him those extra 3900+ turns at bat that Aaron had versus Ruth's turn at bat....at the pace he averaged....Ruth would have hit over 1100....before you credit Aaron ( or Bonds) as the greatest ever look at the number of turns at bat.....Ruth was the greatest home run hitter of all time....Bonds pace(cheating) puts him a close second.....GO YANKEES!.....STINKIN RED SOX!!!

I don't think anyone will ever get to 1000 home runs!
