Could Hank Aaron have hit 850 home runs if he took steroids?

Aaron played most of his career in Fulton County Stadium which was a launching pad. He would have been lucky to hit 700 in a typical ball park.
I don't know about steroids, but if Aaron or Mays could stand over the plate with armor like Bonds has, they could have hit a lot more.

Ok here is how i see it . Hank Aaron served in the army during his time as a mlb player. Also He never had 50 or more homers in a season he was just really consistnet. So if he got the games back from when he was in the army and he hit a little bit more home runs then maybe.

First off, racial issues dont effect how someone hits a ball. So lets throw the race card out the window. Secondly, If Bonds' walk rate was the same as Hammering Hanks, Bonds would have well over 800 home runs. Steroids? Has he tested positive for anything? No. Has he taking anything besides steroids to enhance his game? Sure who hasnt? Lets just enjoy watching history over the next couple of weeks

I love these guys who act like race is never an issue. I'm sure if they were being jeered everywhere they went and they kept getting death threats that they'd preform the same at their job. That being said, Aaron was in the ***** League. Maybe if he didn't have to go there for awhile he'd have more official homeruns. Would steroids have helped him, sure they would have. Of course they didn't even have batting gloves either. Aaron did take amphetamines, as all players were until they started testing for that recently. I don't know about 850 homeruns, maybe.

haha not even a chance in hell because someone as big as barry should have passed the hammer bc he played a few more seasons than hank and hasnt even broke it so hank might have been around high 7's low 8's but not a chance in hell 850 unless maybe if he was in the american league and was dh and THERE IS ABSOLUTLY NOTHING ABOUT RACIAL PROBLEMS YOU PLAY, NO ONE CAN STOP YOU, HE DIDNT GET KILLED WHEN HE BROKE BABES RECORD SO NO EXCUSES, the only one of all time who has a chance is willie maze......

Does it matter to you at all that Bonds has been walked over 1000 times more than Aaron?
How many pitchers did Bonds face that were taking stimulants?

followers that weren't stopped by ability of protection in the previous they have been waiting to get on the sphere. by ability of ways, you will no longer see that repeated whilst Bonds gets there, you are able to desire to have 50 circumstances the style of protection guards holding Bonds.
