Do you think anyone will ever hit more than 61 Home Runs again?
Closest recently is 58 by Ryan Howard a couple years back.
What do you think? I'm not making a poll, just post your answer. Last edited by Buck; 04-30-2009 at 12:08 AM.. |

A Yankee very well could if the concerns about that stadium hold true.
I'm not sure if it's anyone on their current roster, though. |

Eventually someone will. Records are made to be broken and athletes get stronger with advanced technology even without roids

Is this a trick question? Of course someone will. The only unbeatable record is likely the consecutive games hit streak, If only due to the intense pressure that comes with the 24 hour news/sports networks.

Thats 48 years. Pretty impressive that in this day and age nobody has been able to reach 61 (other than the cheaters). Think about The Ballpark at Arlington, Citizen's Banks Park, Minute Maid Park, Coors Field, and even the same Yankee Stadium that Maris, Ruth, and Mantle hit so many home runs in. How has nobody hit 61 in the last 48 years? Pretty amazing. And, I don't think anyone will ever break DiMaggio's record, but nobody thought anybody would break Lou Gehrig's consecutive games played record either. |

honestly Griffey could've done it, but the strike occurred and messed that up

Naa that one will be broken and IMO is not all that impressive. I think the only "unbeatable" record is The most wins in a season, in modern era baseball was 41 in 1904, the game has just changed and a pitcher is lucky to get 30+ starts.
