When Hank Aaron broke the single season record it took him over 2,000 more at bats than Babe Ruth had in his career. The babe was the first man to 30, 40, 50, and 60. The babe was also one of the greatest left handed pitchers ever, his record of almost 28 scoreless innings in world series play also stood for many decades. Aaron hit 41 more homers than ruth but also had almost 4,000 more at bats.
Bonds may not be as great as ruth in many ways but he is definetly better than Aaron in my eyes and is the only man who poses a threat to break 755. Aaron hit 755 at 42 years old. If bonds avg's about 40 homers a year he will break the rocrd at 42. Bonds is also very healthy right now and better than ever.
Is he the best ever? Not yet he is not. But here is my rank of the greatest hitters of all times.
1- Ty Cobb
2- Rogers Hornsby
3- Babe Ruth
4- Barry Bonds
5- Lou Gehrig
6 - Pete Rose
7 - Tony Gwynn
8 - Mickey Mantle
9 - Joe Jackson
10 - Ted Williams
11 - Sammy Sosa
12 - Jimmie Foxx
13 - Mark Mgwire
14 - Tris Speaker
15 - Joe Dimaggio
