Originally posted by whodey 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.
Ummmmm... Alex Rodriguez is the youngest player to hit 500 home runs.
Babe Ruth was the best home run hitter of his era.
Hank Aaron was the best home run hitter of his era.
Barry Bonds was the best home run hitter of his era.
A-Rod is the best home run hitter of his era.
If Ken Griffey Jr. wasn't hurt so much since the 2000 season, he would have put them all to shame.
Originally posted by PocketKings Mickey Mantle has the longest homerun ever and some say also the second longest. That has to count for something
It's funny that with all the "performance enhancing" drugs and improvements in training, that no one has managed to better that particular mark. When it comes to power hitting, Mantle was really the man....
