The Hot Corner


Barry Bonds broke the record, did he?

For one spectacular moment, Barry Bonds and everybody cheering him could forget about the controversy surrounding his chase and appreciate the phenomenal feat: 756.
Nobody in the majors -- not Hank Aaron, not Babe Ruth -- has ever hit more home runs than the San Francisco star.
On Tuesday night, in his home ballpark, it didn't matter how many of them might have been fueled by steroids or performance-enhancers. Bonds has the title of home run king all to himself, ending Aaron's 33-year reign.
"This record is not tainted at all. At all. Period," Bonds said.
And more than 43,000 adoring Giants fans, including his godfather, Hall of Famer Willie Mays, surely agreed.
Bonds raised both arms over his head like a prize fighter in victory, fists clenched -- and then he took off. It was over at long last.
Bonds did it with a shot to the deepest part of the ballpark with one out in the fifth inning against Washington's Mike Bacsik.

Who could break Barry's home run record?

Now that Barry Bonds has broken Hank Aaron's all-time record, it's time to consider who could be the next to ascend the mountain.
Several players have at least an outside chance of out-homering Bonds. Sluggers like David Ortiz and Ryan Howard got a late start, but a long career of sustained power could give them a shot at greatness. Adam Dunn, Albert Pujols, and Miguel Cabrera's home run totals aren't gaudy yet, but their youth and early power surges make them potential ascendees of the list. Older sluggers like Andruw Jones, Manny Ramirez, and Alex Rodriguez have both time and statistics on their side. Regardless of who makes a run, it's clear that Barry Bonds has set a lofty standard.
Which slugger has the best shot (stats current as of 07/07/30)? Rank your best below!

1. Alex Rodríguez
2. Ken Griffey Jr.
3. Manny Ramírez
4. Albert Pujols
5. Ryan Howard
