From AP story ... A-Rod, who turned 32 on Friday, is bidding to break Jimmie Foxx's record (32, 338 days) as the youngest to reach 500. "Nobody will ever beat that," Bonds said. Even Ryan Howard? "Not a chance," the slugger said. **Let's see. Howard turns 28 in November. He has 111 HRs and is on a pace to hit another 16 this season. So if he were to break Foxx's record, he'd need to average about 75 home runs over the next five seasons. I think Barry's right on this point. Why even raise the possibility that Howard could break this record? Maybe he'll hit a home run with a breadstick, too.** |

Alex Rodriguez is and ultimately will be remembered as the greatest baseball player in history. Ryan Howard is more of a Cecil Fielder type — he'll have five or six good season, get overpaid for years after that, and pass into oblivion at around the 400-homer mark. In my opinion. |
