Who do you think has the best chance of breaking the 755 mark set by aaron for career home runs?
Barry is the closest at 600 now but he's 37, Aaron was 42 I believe when he hit 755, or was it 715? Either way does barry have the longevity? He can probably average 40 homers a year for another 4 years but who knows? In 1998 and 1999 McGwire also looked unstoppable but then came along 2001 and that was all.
Sosa is only 33 and is on a streak like no one has ever been on before, he's a machine. Plus he has the biggest shot at staying in the game for the longest amount of time cause he loves the game more than any player I know of. He's averaging 60 homers a year over the last few years. 7 years averaging 45 homers a year and he'll smash the record.
A Rod is the heir apparent to be the best in the game, he's the youngest of the 4. He can easily average 35 - 40 homers a year.
Griffey was the heir apparent several years ago to be the man to break aarons and maris's records one day. He was th fastest to 300 and 400 home runs. He's still young at 33 years old and isn't too far off sammy on the home run list. But the last 2 years have been horrible for junior. he probably won't hit 10 homers this year. He shoulda been past 500 by now. Everyone has a few off years and bounces back only time will tell.
My choice for 755 at this point would be Sammy.
