Bonds will catch Ruth, but probably not Aaron. He doesn't get enough pitches to hit these days, and he's bound to slow down after he turns 40. Unless he wants to pull a Rickey Henderson and keep playing until he's 45 (and he says he won't do that) it will be hard for him to get to 755.

Barry Bonds this year finally surpassed Babe Ruth in one career statistic: lifetime strikeouts. The Babe finished at 1330, Bonds currently has 1368. And that's just on the field.
