756*

Just got home from San Francisco! As would be expected, all the talk was about Barry. I did get a chance to catch a Giants game (When the trip was in the planning stages, it was a toss up between Monday or Tuesday's game. Damn, I was only one game away from witnessing history!) I settled for watching HR 756 from my tv in my hotel room. I, like most others in this forum are baseball purists and cringe at the thought of Barry Bonds now owning the most coveted record in all of sports. Being at the game one day before the record was set, I kinda feel like a pitcher who goes 8 2/3 innings just to lose a perfect game on an 0-2 pitch. I was that close to being there, just to fall a little bit short. The game and the rest of the trip was enjoyable.




Bonds first AB in Monday nites game.
