I think Griffey can hit 756 if he plays 4-5 more years, but if Bonds doesn't retire after this year, I think he will have too many for Griffey to catch.

A Rod could hit 900 homers if he plays to Bonds' current age. That's like 11 more seasons for A-Rod. Concievably, we could be sitting here in September of 2012 when a 37 year old A Rod sets the record and wonder how many more hundreds of homers hes going to hit.

Griffey is going to be 38 in November. He still has 11 more homers to go before he hits 600. At the moment he is right about on pace to hit 600 by season's end. Assuming he does that, and assuming Bonds hits 10 more, he will have to hit 166 homers. If he's lucky, he has 3 more years left in him, and given his injury prone nature and the fact he plays in the NL, I am not sure he could play a full 3 more season. But assuming he does, he will need to hit over 55 homers a year.
A-rod won't play until he's Bonds age, cause Bonds is only still playing because of steroids. But A-Rod should beat it.
