Well if Bonds ends up hitting more home runs than Aaron then Bonds will be King. Duh. Who's to say that Aaron didn't cheat, and who has the proof that Bonds did cheat? Oh he used "the clear" or "the cream." Who knows what Aaron might have done to cheat. Cheating is as old as the game itself and will always be a part of it. If the media wasn't so involved now it wouldn't even be an issue. And by the way, I can't stand Bonds but I'm glad I get to see the best record of any sport be broken in my lifetime.

Bonds will break the #755 and if that single dimensional # is all you care about, then no, Aaron won't be the leader any longer. If you look at the achievement that Aaron accomplished, he hit 755 home runs when the average player was hitting 14 and Bonds will hit 756+ when the average hitter is hitting 17.5.
Bonds' tenure is 22% more likely to hit a homer than in Aaron's tenure, so Aaron's HR total adjusted to Bonds era is 918.
Bonds would have to hit 919 home runs to accomplish what Aaron did.
He still wouldn't be first though because Ruth's adjusted home run total is 1912.
So, if you are ok looking at only one dimension, then it's Bonds, if you are intelligent enough to look beyond the #, it was never Aaron to begin with.

Only if Bonds get eaten by lions before he hits 756.
Many people, though, will still recognize Aaron as the all-time HR king thanks to Barry being linked to steroids and being an overall jerk, but you know what, no matter what Bonds does this year, it won't be long till Alex Rodriguez owns the record for himself in a few years.

Yes. It doesn't matter what Barry Bonds does. He's a cheater, and everybody knows it. So there will always be an imaginary * beside his numbers. Hammerin' Hank will be the home run king until I believe Alex Rodrigez breaks it.

Bonds will take it.... no doubt about that. As far as being the home run king, that's a personal opinion. In my eyes Bonds may have well admitted to have been a cheater when he didnt deny claims to have taken steroids, rather just remained quiet.

Only if for some reason Barry stays where he is. Barry is the champ as soon as he knocks 3 more over the wall. No proof that Barry took steroids, but if he did, he's still the king. Almost everyone else in the league took them, too - including the pitchers Bonds was facing.

Only if Barry is murdered the day after he gets 754. Otherwise Barry is going to be the new king.
Hank may be considered the new homerun king to some, but not for very long. In a few years, A-Rod will be chasing him.

Ovbiously yes, with 3 homers left, and at the rate Barry's been hitting, yes. Probably in the next few games.
