Barry Bonds Hits 755
Early Saturday evening in San Diego, Barry Bonds finally -- finally -- hit homerun #755, tying him with homerun king Hank Aaron for baseball's all-time record in career long-bombs. Behold: the video images of that event.
The solo shot smacked against the Padres in the 2nd inning culminates with Bonds rounding the bases and embracing his son Nikolai, the San Francisco Giants' bat-boy, at home-plate.
As the video clearly shows, people, no matter how much they dislike Bonds, clearly respect the achievement of #755. Still not without controversy, of course. While, the cheers overwhelmingly drowned out the jeers, a befuddled Major League Baseball commissioner, Bud Selig (for whom Bonds has been a raging headache), clearly didn't know how to react.
