NTM, I just like to ruffle feathers.  Also, FWIW, Aaron hit 40+ homeruns up until he was 30-40 as well. |
from what you are saying, he got faster (as in bat speed) as he got older without any drugs. That doesn't make sense to me.
Aaron was SUPER consistent and usually got mid 30s to early 40s a year and never hit more than 47 (hit 45 once, and 44 four times). He didn't jump nearly 20 HRs in one year. He hit 44 when he was 23 and then hit 40 when he was 39. Then went to 20, 12, and 10 the next three years, after turning 40. Big difference there.
if Aaron was on the Bonds diet (shooting juce in your ass) then he should have put up 60+ after he turned 40 and should have had well over 850 HRs by the time he retired.
