Answer 3

What about all the pitchers who Bonds faces that were also on steroids? Should those pitchers get all their strikeouts and wins taken away? Cheating was much more prevalent during Ruth's time, though not necessarily in the form of steroids. Several other notorious cheaters have not have records/stats taken away from them, why should Bonds? Examples: Albert Bell (and Sosa for that matter) and his corked bat; Mike Scott scuffing the baseball ('86 Astros), Gaylord Perry doctoring most baseballs he pitched with (he relied on the movement of his pitches to get batters out. Everyone knew he was doctoring balls, no one could catch him though). Don't forget John Mcgraw, who hid balls in the outfield and watered down basepaths, among other things. All the players mentioned above acted in ways that certainly affected the outcomes of the games which they participated in - the precendent has already been set where most cheaters in baseball get off with little more than a slap on the wrist (Pete Rose being the obvious exception with his exclusion from the HOF). While Bonds' record might be tainted (we don't know for a fact), it is absurd to set forth the notion that his records be revoked because of his actions. If that were to happen, then the league should be consistent and take away all of Mcgwire's homers, Perry's wins, Ty Cobb's stolen bases (remember those sharpened spikes), and also take away the Twin's 1991 World Series victory (Hrbek pulling Ron Gant off the basepath and taggin him out), etc...

Answer 4

9 more to have 756

Answer 5

IT APPEARS THAT HATERS CALL BB A CHEATER JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN. NOT BECAUSE OF ANY LOGIC BECAUSE IF LOGIC WAS INVOLVED WE WOULD HAVE THE SAME PEOPLE COMPLAINING AND PROTESTING MANY OF THOSE ALREADY IN THE HOF. SPITBALLERS, PINE TAR BATS, CORKED BATS, GREASE BALLS, PILL POPPERS ETC. SO DON'T TRY TO USE BB AS THE POSTER CHILD FOR WHATS WRONG WITH THE GAME BECAUSE THE GAME HAS BEEN FULL OF THE SAME THINGS FOREVER. DON'T GET ALL RIGHTOUS WHEN YOU DON'T SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE KNOWN RACISTS, DRUNKS AND JUNKIES THAT HAVE PLAYED THE GAME. GET A GRIP AND GET A LIFE.

Answer 6

The Hall of Fame is full of cheaters...hmmm...none of those creative guys broke any hallowed records...none of them reached any major milestones...creative ways to get an edge is something...it's even almost a game, do it till you get caught and it's comical. Come on, who takes that stuff seriously? Spitting on a ball? Cutting a ball? Corking a bat? Stealing signs? That stuff is funny. It's like eye-gouging at the bottom of a pile in football. It's like the flop in basketball. Funny stuff

Now, slapping some cream on and swallowing chemicals to change the natural course of the body??? Making your melon change so you need a hat with a one inch size difference? Just throw some robots out there then you can justify Baroid Bonds.

I'd rather take Griffey Jr., Aaron, pure baseball hitters and players....clowns like McGuire, Sosa, PALMiero (imagine trying to counteract roid shrinkage with Viagra), Baroid...no thanks.

Oh, and to answer the question??? He needs about 400 legitimate HRs to even come close to the Babe and to Aaron.

Answer 7

He needs 9 more homeruns to beat Aaron's record of 755. I also just want to put it out there that Bonds is an embarrassment to the game of baseball, and this record should not be celebrated. He is a cheat and a lier and in no way deserves the honor of the title "homerun king".

Answer 8

9 more.

Answer 9

he needs 8 more home runs.

Answer 11

for goodness sake, who cares? Bonds is a cheater, there is undeniable evidence that he has used steroids supplied by his trainer and BALCO. I dont quite understand why this is such a big deal, his records shouldnt even exist for cheating if you think about it. at the very least, there should be a sidenote saying he cheated. People cant forget, even if his records do stand, that his accomplishments were aided by the use of steroids, which is a big no-no in every sport imaginable. MLB needs a tighter steroid policy to crack down on the players that make it obvious that there was steroids involved in their career, and find evidence that proves so.
