Next week it's Albert and the next week it's Yadi. I'm kidding, but I also think it's a possibility. Sure would like to see Albert move to #2 on the career home run list and #1 on career RBI list.

No way Albert moves to 2 on the Home Run list. Ruth is within shot but Aaron and Bonds are unreachable.

Right. I guess I don't consider Bonds #1 and by overtaking Ruth, Albert would move to #2 behind Aaron. Those juicers really jacked with what makes this game so special.

Edit: Intriguing that these guys still get recognition in the record books. It bothers me that MLB wouldn't acknowledge Aaron Judge as breaking Roger Maris single season record. Sure, they made a big deal about it but only because it was an "AL record". Continue to ignore the three cheaters in NL that did it 6 times before. Aaron Judge set a MLB record this season and we all have to pretend he didn't.

This is all factually incorrect, regardless of what your opinion on the matter is. Bonds is the home run king and Judge hit the 7th most in a single season.

That’s not how it works. That’s not how any of this works.

You really don't think guys weren't taking any advantage they could in Babe's era as well?

And also the league more or less encouraged and pushed players to juice.

IIRC Babe injected himself with sheep testicle extract, experimentally juicing
