While Bonds Chases Homerun Record, Gonzo Moves Up On The Doubles List

Barry Bonds still remains one homerun behind Babe Ruth for second on the all-time homerun list. While Bonds is busy chasing Ruth, Arizona's own Luis Gonzalez recently moved past The Babe on the all-time doubles list after hitting his 507th on Sunday.

"I like hitting home runs, don't get me wrong," said Gonzalez, whose ninth-inning double moved him into sole possession of 38th place on the doubles list. "But I still like the art of the double because it creates a little bit of a rally jump-starter, especially when you can do it with guys on."

Cubs May Look To Acquire Clark

The Cubs are hitting just .198 against left-handed pitching and their top right-handed hitter, Derrek Lee, on the disabled list. This has led to rumors that the Cubs may look to acquire Arizona's veteran Tony Clark.

The switch-hitting Clark, an 11-year veteran, has lost his starting job at first base to rookie Conor Jackson and is hitting just .194 in 19 games. Last season he hit .304 with 30 homers and 87 RBIs.

It is known that Gary Hughes, special assistant to Cubs general manager Jim Hendry, has been watching the Diamondbacks of late, including Sunday, when Clark started.
