Bonds is 43 and has had 9777 AB which is 1378 more than Babe Ruth. Babe was a pitcher for 8 years so he only batted every 5 days if he played a diffrent position and batted everyday he would have had over 800 HRs. If Willie Mays or anyone else played til they were 60 they would probably break the record but that doesn't make them the king because he wasn't a great HR hitter he just played a long time Also Ruth had a higher carrer Slugging%. If you do the math Ruth homered eveyry 3.5 games and bonds homered every 4 games.Ruth only played 2503 games while Bonds played 2960 in counting.

   The main reason Bonds isn't the HR king is because he used STEROIDS, he cheated, whatever you want to call it. I am dodger fan so i wouldn't want Bonds to break it either way but i would at least accept the fact he broke the record if he wouldn't have used steroids.

  That's why Babe Ruth is the HR king.
