But you do wonder if he would've made a few choices differently, could he be chasing Aaron right now? Bonds?
As recently as 2016 he was still a dangerous hitter. He was among the league leaders in quality of contact that season - the stats just didn't reflect it because the AL West has 3 pretty awful environments to hit in, including his home park.

He still played first regularly through 2015.
The issue is he started dealing with plantar fasciitis in 2013.
And no, I don't think he'd be chasing Bonds or Aaron now.
Maybe Ruth if 2020 wasn't a shortened season.
