Default Ryan Howard is on fire

With 4 homeruns in his last 10 at bats Howard sits at 53 homers and 134 RBI. Since the break Howard has something crazy like 30 home runs. The question isn't should he be NL MVP but IF Howard was to hit 62 homeruns, would you view him as the real record holder? We all know McGwire, Sosa, and Bonds were totally juiced up when they hit their big number of homers. MLB has a pretty weak drug testing policy, but they do at least have one and it is generally evidenced by players like Bonds not hitting any homers, and Sosa and Palmeiro being out of the game now. I think I'd have to say yes I'd view Howard as the all time single season HR leader if he could hit his 61st by game 156 and 62nd before the end of the season.
