Because Hank Aaron juiced or because he was of the wrong race?

who said this involved race?
Um...nobody, hence the question mark. I agree that BB's record of 762 may deserve an asterisk because of PEDs and may not be recognized by many, but there has to be some sort of an explanation for not recognizing HA's 755. If you state that BR's 714 are the real record and you refuse to give HA's his worth, there has to be some reasoning behind your claim. Since juice is (hopefully for you) out of the question, it has to be something else.
Just a question, that's all.

But did anyone make the slightest indication that race was a factor? Why even ask.
I happened to be watching the MLB channel and they had a documentary on HA's chase of BR's record. The 3,000 letters of hate mail a week, etc.
I was just curious, it's that simple.

Wow 3000? IMO, every single player who has used illegal substances and either confessed to it or has been investigated and proved to have used such material should have every last statistic voided.
H.A. does deserve every stat he acheived and hopefully race wouldn't be a factor

If the pitchers, catchers and fielders were 'juiced', doesn't that even things out.
Also, I keep hearing about the 'steroid era' when was that & who decides.

To me he's still the king because who else can get drunk and laid all night and then go on and smash those balls like they're little mosquitoes? Although my hat's off to Hank Aaron for breaking the Babe's home run record, Hank was not nearly as powerful as the Babe. Hank's longest home run was 470 ft. while it's been calculated that the Babe's longest home run was about 600 feet. The Babe also owns the record for most 500+ feet home runs. You can google all these statements.
Yes, Hank Aaron and the "roid" kids have beaten the Babe's home run count, but from a sheer power perspective nobody beats the babe. Nobody!!!!

Dude, c'mon? You try to pull the race card here just because I did not explain myself in my original post? So if I say that Ferraris are the kings of sport cars is it because I'm being prejudiced against the Germans? Some things don't need an explanation.

don't even say you don't like the color options on the Nissan GT-R. Why do you hate the Japanese so?
