    Let's see....

    Bonds is currenty at 751, but the last 10 games, only 2 homeruns. It seems to me, most of the hitters always seem to have a 2-3 hit night when breaking or right before passing some hit record or milestone. So I will go in his next series, against Chicago.

    July 19th, 2007, 5th inning, left field off Tilly.

    Soriano gets the Sports Illustrated cover watching the ball go over.

    Bonus points: 755 is hit the same day, but the Cubs rally in the 8th and win the game 5-4.

    Clear Skies,

    McCovey Cove

    Someone nearly drowns trying to get the ball.

    Lawsuits ensue over the ball

    Ball finally auctioned off.

    Drug Company or 'energy drink' company buys the ball
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    Chris - Nothing personal against you, but I doubt Bochy will
    let him hit it on the road, and I also doubt the Dodgers will
    give him anything to hit. Anyways, best of luck to you, and
    all the other entrants.

  • ChrisCChrisC Posts: 435
    I doubt Bochy will let him hit on the road

    I did not know he only played home games.
    So records can only be broken or tied if the player is at home?
    Maybe one of the reasons I dont watch baseball anymore.

  • rube26105rube26105 Posts: 10,225 ✭✭
    i this case, the're sure gonna try thier best to make it happen at home, im sure they dont want him to break it on the road and be booded off the field and covered in trash, frisco is where they want it done for sure as they like him for some reason,so many games back i guess hes the only thing the giants have left ,no chance for them at anything this year!they cant time when hes gonna hit a homer, but they are sure going to try too that for sure,several away games ill say hell be benched to rest his wittle sweet head lol- id like to see him hit it away myself lol,not because of the roids,i dont care about that, just because hes a a pr ick
