HankronA possible way to look at is this: Irrelevant to how many home runs were hit by Joe Blow during a World War II season, how many people today would consider it the true Major League record? Simularly, irrelevant to the merits of a particular player, 50 years from now, how many people will consider the home runs from the late 1990s wholey legitimate? My guess is that a large percentage, if not a majority, will take the home run numbers as seriously as those from WWII.
