Bud Selig Says Hank Aaron Is The True Home Run King

Former MLB commissioner Bud Selig believes that Hank Aaron, not Barry Bonds, is baseball's true home run king.

Appearing on The Dan Patrick Show, Selig said "even though Bonds holds the record, and I’ve said ‘records are records,’ I think you know how I feel about Henry Aaron".

Selig admitted that he's a bit biased as a close friend of Aaron. As for whether Bonds belongs in the Hall of Fame, Selig said "I'm going to let the writers decide that".

Bonds finished his career with 762 home runs, seven ahead of Aaron's 755.
