It depends on how many homers Bonds hits by the time he retires. A-Rod currently has 500 homers. If Bonds were to retire at the end of this season, A-Rod has a definite shot at shattering Bonds' record (without steroids). If you figure A-Rod hits an average of 40 homers per season, it should take him less than six years to break Bonds' record.

Probably more like 9 or 10 years. There's a good chance Barry will hit a few more before he finally retires, and it would take A-Rod at least 7 years to get to 756, let alone whatever mark Barry eventually gets to.
In order for him to break it in 6 years, he'll have to average 50 homers a year (assuming Barry hits 800). No way A-Rod can pull that off. I'm sure his power numbers will decline a little as he gets into his late 30's/early 40's. I would say 10 years would be a good estimate on when it would be broken (if A-Rod breaks it).

A-Rod easily has the merely proper risk of breaking Bonds' residing residing house run record. A-Rods first finished season replaced into in 1996 -- and has 496 residing residing house runs.. For simplicity, we will say he has been interior the league for 11 years and has hit 500 residing residing house runs (which he will have extra beneficial valuable than 500 HR's on the the main suitable option of the 300 and sixty 5 days, yet it rather is for simplicity) -- it rather is 40 5.40 5 HR's consistent with 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. Now, A-Rod is 32, Bonds is 40 2.. So, enable's say A-Rod performs until he's 40 and averages in certainty 35 HR's over those 8 years -- it rather is 280 HR's.. upload that to 500 --- A-Rod is lookingat 780 HRs and that i made 3 assumptions: a million) He finishes this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days with 500 HR's 2) He in certainty averages 35 HR's over the subsequent 8 years 3) in certainty performs 8 extra beneficial years.. it rather is very suggestions-blowing and analysts say he's on %.. to hit over 800 HR's! playstation - Griffey won't in any respect smash this record.... who reported that?

I'm an A-Rod fan, and he will break Barry Bonds' record.. BUT it will take a little more than 6 years.. I don't see a 70 HR season in his future.

If A-Rod gets there at all it will take more than 6 years. Probably 7 to 9 years if everything goes just right for him.

He could possibly break the current mark in 6 years, doubt it, but it is very possible.
However, it seems that Barry is going to stay around until his arms fall off...
Seriously, though. As egotistical as Barry is, I think he will stay around another 3-5 years, as long as someone will let him, so that he can run it up around 850. To try and ensure A-Rod can't do it. I just don't think A-Rod is the type to stick around for 10-15 more years just to break the record.
I think A-Rod will go off and enjoy his 200+ millions of dollars, long before that.

well say a-rod does opt out of his contract and signs with a team who has an enormous ball park, it would take longer to break the record than it would if he went to a place like Cincinnati or Colorado who havevery thin air, and very low air pressure.

If A-Rod rubs Barry's special "flaxseed oil" all over himself, he'll get it done in 5 seasons. Otherwise, it'll take 7-8.

No. If all goes well it might take him 7 seasons. But injuries happen.
