Blackout Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 as we enter the non-roid era, does anyone think Bonds's 73 is safe forever? i cant imagine anyone breaking it now until another popular form of cheating becomes widespread and how long will it take for someone to break the legit 61 HRs in a season? in recent years, a few clean guys have came close (Arod 57, Griffey 56 twice) but no cigar last years high was 48 by Beltre, who played for his life last year (just look at him now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFSIKH Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 No. Maybe not this decade, but in a future decade, baseball will need to boost attendance/TV ratings and the ball will be 'changed' and HRs numbers will soar again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we see 75 for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaborJet Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Take away the steroids and the record is still 61. McGwire Sosa Bonds all on the juice. The record belongs to a Yankee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFSIKH Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 anyone think Hack Wilson's 191 RBI record is safe? the most anyones had in my lifetime is 165 i think No. 6 of the NL teams hit .300 that year and that has not happened since the Sox did it in 1950 I think. Chicago was not even in the Top 3 in that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Giambo and Bonds along with Sheff had their stories leaked. Assuming Arod and Griff were clean is just that, a assumption. Who would have thought guys like Rincon and Alex Sanchez were on roids? All the asterik stuff is a dead issue unfortunately because before all is said and done we will probably hear many more names that used and from prior eras as well.
