My personal opinion of course...but I really think that Aaron's 715th was a tad more significant than his 716th.

I think Maris' 61st HR to break what was previously considered an almost unbreakable record by the beloved Babe Ruth should be up there.
There was so much controversy surrounding that HR that they thought it appropriate to put a freaking asterisk on it.

Boone, Mazeroski, Puckett, Bonds 756, Aaron 715, Maris 61, Dent, Gibson, Carter, Thompson.

No Big Mac, no Fisk, no other Bonds HRs. No list up yet anywhere on ESPN.com.

yeah, once I realized what I did, it was too late to edit. I knew I wasn't going to be able to get away with it for too long.

It doesn't deserve to be there, but Ripken's HR in his final All-Star game probably will be there.

I'm sure we can easily say Maz, Puckett, Fisk, Boone, Carter, Gibson will all be on there.

more like a Yankees bias since the most famous HR left off the list was Fisk.

No kidding.

Fisk's HR capping what some consider to be the best baseball game ever played absolutely needs to be on the list.

Knowing ESPN they could also do something kind of goofy and include Sadaharu Oh's 800th career HR or something like that.
