As of right now, Albert Pujols has 18 homers to lead the majors. At this pace, he will shatter Bonds's record for homeruns in a season. He's on pace to hit 85.7 homers. Do you think he can keep up this pace and do it?Personally i dont think he can do it. 73 homers is a massive number. I love Pujols, and he's the most feared batter in baseball, and thats why i dont see him doing it. Teams are going to start walking him and giving him the "barry bonds" treatment.
As much as I like Pujols, I also cannot see him breaking Bonds' home run record. Like you said, 73 homers is a lot, and I'm sure Pujols will hit a cold spell somewhere in the season, and teams will start walking him too.
I think he can do it this year. He is taking every pitch that tempts him out of the ball park and has a massive number of RBI's, I think that it is a big number but he can do it.
Bonds record of 71 or whatever is corrupt,he admittedly used a "special face cream"or better known as steroids.I hope Pujols does shatter this record,so at least a legite player will have the record.
In all seriousness I think he can. Do I think he will? Not yet, at least.....Albert Pujols has an amazingly balanced swing and gets amazing contact every time he swings, however, if you watch him, most of his home runs are not 450 foot bombs, most of them clear the fence by a little bit. Right now he's not on a fast pace but sooner or later you have to slow down, look at Derrek Lee last year.
