MLB, New York Yankees

You've all seen the pace comparisons between Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez. So long as he stays healthy, A-Rod will pass Hank/Barry sooner rather than later.

He's the youngest ever to reach 500 home runs.

Do you think A-Rod will pass Barry? When will he do it?

Now answer the question..."Do you think A-Rod will pass Barry? When will he do it?"

0	That would have been the first thing you would have pointed out as well, so I'm not sure why you're complaining. But anyway, I'd like to change my answer to 2013. I think I sold him a little short with the 2014 estimate.

I like you Chad, I really do, but sometimes when I read the things you write, I don't know if I'm taking crazy pills or you are :P

It's just mind boggling to me how much you hate a guy on the team you supposedly love. Are you simply too stubborn to admit that he's one of the best players of this generation and the best player on his team?

1	I just hope he does it soon so Hank Aaron can die peacefully knowing he got chased down by a clean player.

If he can average 40 to 45 HR's in the next 6 years he could reach it also but I can see A-Rod averaging over 50 HR's every year he is in. Then we will see Ryan Howard going for the A-Rod record in the next 15 years in baseball history.
