Who is the greatest HR hitter of all time??

That's why I put the option d) Other on the list.

A Rod without a doubt.


Why wait until he has the record to call it?

I think you have to include Ted Williams and Mays on the list of possibles.

Williams lost a lot of time to two wars.

That's right. Very good point. Ted Williams would have hit at least 600 homers if he hadn't fought in the war.

How do you come up with those statistics? He had 493 homers in 17 seasons and was 39 when he retired. He could have played maybe five more years if he hadn't had the Lou Gherig disease. That means he would have had to hit 60 homers a year for 5 years straight. he was a great player but I don't believe he would have hit 800 homers. barring injuries A-Rod might do it. Look what happend to junior. He got hurt for 4 years stright and look at his homer projections now.

I am not saying he was the greatest home run hitter of all time but Gehrig was a righty in old Yankee stadium where left center was 463 feet. 493 home runs with out juiced balls or juiced players is fairly impressive.

LOL.....he was just changing history to support his claim😛

it wasn't my claim. i wasn't trying to change history. I was trying to help someone else and i was just wrong.

THE BABE. He only did it on beer and hot dogs... That being said i am pretty sure he had something like 2,500 lees at bats than the great Hank Aaron did. Griffey is another outstanding HR slugger. Its a shame he was injured for all those years...

i just went to his site and to wikipedia and it said he was 37 when he died....

honorable mention goes to Foxx

Rosie O'Donnell

She's got sack!

I would have to say Ken Griffey Jr. After all, he is the youngest to make it ot 500 home runs. Also note that he is not juiced. You could argue this fact, however, it is very apparent to me who is and is not juiced. Just look at how Bonds and Mcguire bulked up right before hitting all of those home runs. I pray he breaks the record set by Bonds so that the home run record will once again be legitimate.
