Barry Bonds already beat the record in 2007 and currently has 762 and is not expected to hit any more due to the steroid incidence. In the 1990s, Ken Griffey Jr. was the one who was expected to beat it before he had practically an injury every year after departing from Seattle. Some think that Alex Rodriguez has a chance of breaking it, but he still has about 150 to go. Some think Albert Pujols, Ryan Howard, and Prince Fielder have a chance of breaking the record, even though it is too early to assume this.

Yet Hank DID break the record. 2) More significantly, Hank did it despite the extraordinary pressure against him. About 20% of this "fan" mail as he approached the record was overtly racist hate mail, with many letters openly stating that they would kill him before he could break the record.
