755*

At the present time, 755 home runs is still the real home run record of major league baseball. Hank Aaron cranked out every one of those home runs the hard way with hard work, determination, and professional integrity. Hank Aaron busted his ass and wore himself out to set that record. He deserves every single second of the accolades and every single penny of the rewards he has received since then.

* Technically speaking, San Francisco Giants player Barry Bonds finally acheived his 756th career home run tonight. To recognize the stain that has been placed upon the honor of major league baseball, the asterisk on Hank Aaron's record will be maintained until Barry Bonds has been banned from baseball.
