Yes, A-rod, with the help of steroids, has the most home runs of all 3Bs in MLB history if that's what you're talking about. But even then he hit half of those while playing as a SS. I'm more of a baseball historian than you. In fact, I'm more of a historian than you. So if that's the best you have, don't even bother. Arod is a better player than any of the guys you have mentioned. His 2007 season was the best ever for a 3rd baseman. He will play more games at 3rd base than any other position. He'll go into the HOF as a 3rd baseman for the NY Yankees. He's a 3rd baseman and the best one.

Personally, I think he's the greatest Third Baseman and the greatest Shortstop. Maybe not the most pleasant personality; but, as he gets older, as most of us do, he continues to mellow. Anyway, why argue it? Everybody knows we have the greatest Shortstop; we just don't all agree on which one it is. That's a nice problem to have, fellers!

I hope ARod passes Bonds and gets the all time record for RBI, too. I hope Jeter passes Pete Rose. It's better to have these records held by Yankees than by some strangers! HR record.....I could care less. Means crap to me. Aaron is the leader. Now the hit record is another story. GO Jeter!
