He could. if he plays up to age of 40 and and hits same number of homeruns in average. i think he will.

On the other thand,Pujols could too.

 

[ARon]

Weren't they talking about this a couple years ago.

yes....both pujols and a-rod can pass aaron...or come very very close...meaing 20 or so away....but in the end, if both do come close, i think pujols will be remembered more, since he's a little more well-rounded than a-rod??? and both are 5 tool players so..... i thin pujols will still edge him out with a higher avg for his career...

tennis_dog, A-rod is a gold glove shortstop who's lead the league in home runs 4 times, has a .300+ average, won a batting and RBI title, and once stole 40 bases in a season.

Pujols just a first basemen. he's above average on defense but never will win a gold glove.

There are a bunch of players who could catch him. Hell, if Manny Ramirez plays into his early 40's, he could do it.

That's unlikely though.

Vlad Guerrero is another one. and Cabrera could too but hes too young to tell yet.

Vlad Guerrero is another one.

305 homers through age 29? he'll get injured too often to make it to 600 career homers, let alone 755

I read in my Baseball Digest that Andruw Jones is up there on the list (11th) of homeruns before the age of 30, and he has over a year left before he stops adding to that total. Might as well throw him in there.
