If bonds cant do it I think if griffey plays DH he still has a shot. Realistically I think A-Rod will get there first but Albert will eventually pass A-Rod for the all-time home run king title.

First, it'll be Bonds in 3-4 years if he stays healthy. After that in 6 years, it'll be broken by Pujols and A-Rod and be a footrace until the other retires.

It first will be Bonds next year. If he is relatively healthy. Next A-Rod. After that Pujols. The people who are saying Ryan Howard don't realize that he is 26 or 27 years old and has only 66 career homeruns. Maybe if he was 4 or 5 years younger he would have a chance.

I don't think Junior has 190 plus homeruns left in his bat unless he stays remarkably injury free for the next 4-5 years. A-Rod is a possibility but these things are extremely difficult to predict. This is not so prevalent any more but it used to be that any time a younger guy started having big home run seasons his chances of being the one to pass Ruth would be assessed. Some, like Eddie Matthews and Willie made the 500 club (of course Willie went way beyond that). You might include Reggie Jackson in this group too.

A-rod. Hes only 30. He already has more than 450 homers. That means he is 300 shy of the record. If he plays til hes 40 he only need to average 30 homers a season. Hes having such a bad year this year and has 25 homers this year and still has about 2 months left. Hes gonna hit 35-40 this year and can easily average 30 homers a season.

Probably Bonds, then maybe A-Rod if he can get back to 40 HR a year pace, then definitly Pujols but Griffey is too injury prone. If he never got injured throuout his career he would already have 600-650 HRs

A-Rod; he's still quite young for someone who hit as many HRs as he has already.

I don't think anyone playing today will break it. Bonds is done after this year, and no one else is close enough to even be speculating about it.
