Let's look at both sides of this.

Bonds has continued to hit home runs at not much older than Aaron so far. Aaron was 39 when he had his best year in terms of home runs per at bat. He dropped off pretty rapidly after that. It makes sense that with better training Bonds could continue to produce at a greater age.

On the other side is Bond's significant increase in home run production per at bat beginning in 2000 and continuing through this season. The increase in production seems to have occurred in the same time frame as his alleged involvement with BALCO.

CADAD, assuming your information is correct, the increase in HR's also correlates well with the Giants move from the miserable and pitcher friendly Candlestick to the friendly confines of PacBell Park and McCovey Cove.
