The issue most would have with the walks is that they’d say Bonds wouldn’t have achieved those without the use of PEDs so to avoid going into that topic the walks were left off the list.

40-40 Club…Like you said Bonds is 1 of 4 players in it so I didn’t feel that was worthy as one of the most unbreakable records.

NL record 12 100RBI seasons…It’s just an NL record so it doesn’t deserve a spot on the list and barring injury Pujols needs just 4 more 100RBI season to surpass Bonds. And the 8 seasons of 40+ actually ARod also has reached that plateau so its hardly one of the most unbreakable records.

Gold gloves and silver sluggers definitely don’t deserve a spot on the most unbreakable list.

Bonds ’04 season was epic but most won’t accept the numbers due to PED use. So like I said before I was posting records that can be embraced without having to get into the PED debate.

HRs off different pitchers…falls under the if you talk about this people will bring up PEDs. And the comparison to Ruth isn’t neccesarily valid. Expansion, longer season’s, more use of bullpens and interleague means that players nowadays face many more pitchers than players in previous eras did.

7 MVPs…I’m not a big fan of putting awards that are not purely statistical achievements into the category of unbreakable records. 7 likely won’t be broke. Pujols has 3 at age 29 just like Bonds but I doubt he’ll play as long as Bonds. But in addition to this not being a stat I couldn’t list it as an unbreakable record because people will bring up PEDs.

4 consecutive MVPs impressive but for the reasons listed above it didn’t make the list.

500/500 I think Bonds will be the lone player in that category for a long time however once again people will bring up the discussion I was trying to avoid with the list.

Barry was a 5 tool player and Pujols is not. In the grand scheme of things is being a 5 tool player really better than some other things that can be accomplished during a career? Pujols will never get anywhere near Bonds SB numbers. But he will however end up with more Runs, Higher BA, more TB, more 2B and more hits. Plus he’s already won a WS and likely will win more. Its also worth noting that he’s not perceived as an arrogant jerk by the media and his teammates. Whether its right or wrong, that can go along way in determining how the fans perceive a player. So HR record or not I believe that Pujols, barring any injury will go down as the better hitter and be held in much higher regard than Bonds.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not the type of person that discredits Bonds because of suspected PED use. As you can see with previous postings I do not believe in ignoring the accomplishments of those that played during the ‘steroid era’. However, for the reasons stated above I left Bonds off my list of MLB’s “Most unbreakable records”.

Thanks for checking out the site by the way. You must have some expert google skills or maybe just bad luck to stumble upon my mediocre at best attempt at sports blogging.

Big Typo on my part.

This guy is consistent no matter what field he plays on. Yet he constantly flies under the radar. He deserves to be in the hunt for a starting spot in the ASG. Hawpe currently isn’t even in the top15 in voting and that’s just a disgrace.
