...would you consider him the single-season record holder?
MLB wouldn't, of course. But would you? Simple question, simple answer.

Yes.
Mainly because I hate Bonds, McGwire, and Sosa.

I actually used to like McGwire. Now I just hate myself for being a sucker.
Howard would be the first guy who didn't need to cheat to break the record and he's on pace for 62....Helen: Everyone's special, Dash.

Re: If Ryan Howard were to hit 62 HRs this year...
...then records aside, for a player his age, I'd consider it one of the most remarkeable numbers in the history of the game. Until we sort out the mess of the steroids era - if we ever do - that'd be my immediate reaction.
Unfortunately, if anyone ever eclipsed 70 home runs again, I know I would be hesitant to just accept it and not question whether the player is on something or if there's another factor that would generate such a high home run number. I will say though...if Howard hits 60 or more, I think he sets the "post testing" benchmark that should probably measure how the next 10-20 years will play out in terms of home run totals. Too many years have passed over these long seasons in the game of baseball to think they won't come back to earth like they did last year.Comment

Definitely. If he could do it in 154 games, that would be pretty cool as well.Originally posted by billmaticComment

Re: If Ryan Howard were to hit 62 HRs this year...
I wouldn't, because even if 'roids were the reason, they weren't against the rules. That being said, it would impress me 100x more than Bonds' 73. Isn't this only Howard's second season?Comment

Ryan Howard has always been a big guy, so that is probably why everyone thinks he is clean. Well, that is the reason I do.NCAA Vets League: Arkansas Razorbacks (9-2, 6-1)
