Who soon will be the next person to supplace Hank Aaron?
You probably mean who will break his record as MLB’s all-time leading home run hitter, in which case you already have your answer above… Barry Bonds is a near certainty to pass the record this season injury permitting, and no other currently active player is anywhere close. However Hank Aaron also holds the MLB all-time records for RBIs (2297), extra base hits (1477) and total bases (6856), so allow me to speculate on thos records… 2297 RBIs – Barry Bonds leads the current players, but would need another 3 good seasons to break the record which is unlikely at his age; Ken Griffey Jnr would need another 690 to beat it, and he is aged 36 by now so that is probably beyond him. Ditto Frank Thomas. The best chances of current players passing this record are probably Manny Ramirez and A-Rod, who are younger and could come close if they remain in excess of 100 per season over the next 7-8 years… 1477 extra base hits – Bonds needs 80 to break this record, which is possible if he has a go
