I still think it's 61. That's the highest number not speculated by steroids.

In my opinion, Roger Maris still holds the record at 61. All others who have topped that figure since have done it with the aid of some sort of "juice".

73.
If we started finding people guilty whenever we speculated they may have done something wrong without first proving it we might as well stop calling ourselves America.
As a side note to those who continue to insist Maris' 61 homeruns didn't beat Ruth's 60 homeruns: It's true that Maris had 8 more games in which to hit his homeruns, but he only had 7 more plate appearances. Not only that, but he hit his 60 homeruns in fewer plate appearances than it took Ruth. Not that any of this really matters because (at the risk of being too obvious) single season records are all based upon a single season, not how many games were played in that season.

To me its either 73 or 60. Ruth hit 60 in 154 Games, Maris 61 in 162 games... he got 8 more games. Who know how many Ruth could've had in 8 more games if he knew we was chasing a record. My point is you are never gonna have a level playing field, so why both trying to make an artifical level playing field. Plus until (and if ever) Bonds is proven guilty (not just leaked testimony, but real 100% proof) then its a moot point.

Only a communist would say its 61 but since I believe in innocent until proven guilty I will say 73. It will be fun to hear all you commies squirm when BB breaks the all time HR record.

You can tell he used steroids. He played the game like a guy like Jose Reyes did, and then he bulked up and started looking like Jim Thome
Imagine Ichiro looking like Jim Thome in 5 years. Suspicious? Nah...

73 is the record regardless of steriod use or not. If steroids was such a big deal to MLB why was it never banned????? Therefore no rules were broken, if no rules were broken then the record is 73. I mean if Babe Ruth hit all his homers while hungover or maybe even somewhat drunk does that mean that they don't count, I mean during prohibition alcohol was ILLEGAL right ??
