756 FOR NUMBER 25
Say what you will about the man. I sure have. But watching Bonds hit career homerun number 756 to break the all-time record was…great. I LOVE baseball. It was an amazing moment. Goose bumps. And then, the message from Hank Aaron. I teared up, I admit it. A very nice surprise.
I was at Pacific Bell/SBC/AT&T Park when he hit homerun numbers 71 and 72 in 2001, and it was one of the most electric and memorable experiences of my life as a sports fan. I felt that energy tonight, through the TV. Giants fans are VERY dedicated and I’m sure Bonds is relieved to have broken the record at home.
As he hit that homerun tonight, I set aside Bonds’ controversial journey to 756, and just focused on the arrival. 3-2 pitch from Washington Nationals pitcher Mike Bacsik. Bullet to the right field bleachers. Gone.
