He hits it high! He hits it deep! It's out of here! Home run #746 for Barry Bonds. This brings Bond's into single digits of Hank Aaron's all-time leading home run record of 755. Barry Bond's #746 was a 2-run homer in the 6th inning against the Rockies on May 27th.
As Bond's edges closer and closer to the record more and more questions are going to rise. It's not a matter of if anymore, it is now when is he going to hit numbers 755 and 756. How much will the ball cost when caught by the lucky fan? According to the San Francisco Chronicle that a Dallas auction house has already made a offer for $1 million for the fan that catches number 756. Money changes a lot of people and if you are already a Bond's hater, I am sure you will change if you are the lucky fan that catches number 756.
How will fans react if he breaks the record outside of AT&T Park in San Francisco. Every ball park outside of San Francisco has heckled and berated Bonds for many seasons now. With steroid allegations hanging over his head as he approaches the record many fans don't want to see Aaron's record broken outside of San Francisco.
Will Barry Bonds give the Baseball Hall of Fame his bat that breaks the record? Early reports from San Francisco that the answer is "No."
As the weeks go by and Bond's gets closer to history these questions will be solved. Steroid allegations or not hitting that many home runs is an accomplishment and will be a piece of history.
