755*

Barry Bonds hits home run number 755 in the second inning against the San Diego Padres last night, tying Henry Aaron for the all time HR record in the history of the MLB.

It was smacked to the opposite field off Padre starter Clay Hensley, who was suspended a couple of years ago for violating MLB's steroids policy (irony!).

Also, commissioner Bud Selig was there to watch, but didn't applaud. Most of the San Diego fans did cheer after the HR, even though they booed him before every at bat, as is the custom.
Barry probably won't play today (day game after night game on a getaway day), but should break Aaron's record sometime during this week's home series against the Washington Nationals.
Washington has a baseball team?
