Aaron will continue to have 755 homers, 3771 hits, and 2297 RBI no matter what Bonds or ARod or anyone else ever does.

If you were to ignore Bonds' breaking the record and leave Aaron as the leader, then I think you'd have to do the same for all the other records. You would have to look into Sosa and McGwire's pasts and take away their magical 98 season followed by Bonds' 73. Giving the single season record back to Maris. I don't see how they can just ignore Bonds' all time record without wiping away the whole steroids era. That makes it way more complicated. Just using Barry as the scapegoat for the cheating of an entire league is a ridiculous way to go about it. It's easy to put all the blame on him and ask that he be banned and his records ignored. But, it doesn't magically wipe away the steroid era.

My heart is still with Hammerin' Hank. He will always be the record holder that honestly beat the Babe in home runs. No one ever questioned Aaron's abilities.
The things he went through, and the pressure he played under early in his career, are things Bonds and today's players can hardly understand. Hank Aaron always showed class and style. Something many of today's players could stand to learn.

No
Bonds didn't do steroids prior to 1999, even though many others, including pitchers and hitters did. That is not in dispute. Bonds played, at the very least, the majority of his career at a disadvantage. He also played in much tougher ballparks than either Ruth or Aaron. If anybody, you should adjust up Bonds's home run totals because of the huge disadvantages he faced..

Hank's record will always stand even if bonds breaks it the people will remember he was the all time champ (home run champ)
I believe with the advances in science that athletes will do whatever it takes to get to the top and testing will always be a step behind. so in the era of clean sports hank is the champ.

Yes I no barry bonds probably did take steroids but he never tested positive for taking them so they cant take away his record

if he ever confesses to using roids the years he used them should be subtracted from his total
