Maris broke Babe Ruth's record of 60 homeruns in 1961.Sammy Sosa and McGwire chased the record in 1998 and finaly that season McGwire broke Maris' current record of 61 and made the new record 70 homeruns. Also, in 1998 Sammy Sosa broke Maris' record to make it 66 homeruns. Later, in 2001 Barry Bonds broke McGwire'srecord and made the modern day record a total of 73 homeruns. Bonds went on to brake Hank Aarons record for most homeruns in a career. Aarons record was 755 and Bondsmade it 756.BUT Sosa, McGwire and Bonds all have strong evidence against them that they have taken steroids. So I believe their records should not count!
yes
He surpassed Mark McGwire record of 70 home runs, set in 1998. Bonds finished the 2001 season with 73 homers.
The groundskeeper Tom Forneris retrieved Mark McGwire's home run ball number 62 (1998). The baseball was returned to McGwire, and was later sent to the baseball HOF in Cooperstown. Therefore a value cannot be put on the baseball. The year Mark McGwire broke Roger Maris's record in 1998 McGwire hit 70 Home runs, and hit 65 the following year in 1999. Mark McGwire's 63rd Home Run ball sold for $50,000. at the same auction that saw McGwire's 70th Home Run ball sell at a record $3 million in 1999. Keep in mind this is also before the steroid scandal, and both baseballs might sell at a much lower price today.
Barry Bonds broke the record in the 20 century.
Yes. He took steroids to break Mark McGwire's record of hitting 70 home runs in one season (he used steroids too) Now Barry Bonds holds the record of 73 home runs in one season.

Steve Davis at the Lada Classic in February 1982.
The person is David Rudisha. he has the world record and is soon to break it in 2012 olympic games. Go David!
Roger Bannister was the first man to break the four minute mile. He did it in May, 1954 at a meet in England, I believe with a time of 3:59.4. He was running with others that also had the potential. I guess you could say that the conditions were just right for him to break the record.
