That is still one of my favorite Topps cards! #1 1974 Topps with Aaron.

In my book, Hank is still the HR king. Not to bash Barry Bonds, but why can't he just admit what everyone knows - he was an incredibly talented PED user. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have broke Hanks record without the juice, but he most likely would have been the only 500HR/500SB guy which is pretty special in itself.
