Prior to the SF/SD baseball game this evening, the camera inevitably stopped on Barry Bonds while the announcers were setting up the game. And man, did Bonds look tired and very tense. This evening Bonds was hitting fourth in the line-up and after the Giants went one, two and three in the top of the first, I had made the decision to stay up and watch the entire game (being in the Eastern Standard Time zone, the game would not end until after the day ended).
Lucky for me, Bonds lead off the top of the second inning with a monster shot the opposite way to tie Henry “Hank” Aaron for Major League Baseball’s all-time lead in home runs. After the ball finally landed and the cameras returned their focus to Bonds, there was nothing but relief on Bonds face. Okay, there might have been a smile too but his relief took centre stage.
Congratulations Barry! I look forward to seeing number 756 (hopefully tonight). On the down side, once Barry does reach the magic number, the extra baseball games Rogers Sportsnet is showing will cease. Nothing can be perfect I guess.
