Bonds' charge toward baseball immortality has been tainted by allegations that he has used performance-enhancing drugs. Bonds' homer in the second inning of Saturday's game against the Padres in San Diego was the 755th shot of his 22-year career. The blast tied Major League Baseball's most hallowed record that had been held by Henry Aaron for 33 years. Bonds swung, took a half-dozen steps and clapped his hands after hitting the home run with an opposite-field drive to left field. Commissioner Bud Selig watched and was on hand for Friday's 4-3 loss to the Padres in which Bonds went 0-for-4 with a strikeout. Selig spent Thursday home in Milwaukee and missed the Giants' series finale at Dodger Stadium. |
For better or worse, Barry Bonds, moved one home run away from becoming baseball's new home run king.
