Barry Bonds.....100 shy of Hank Aarons record...

[PLANT]

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Watch out, Hammerin' Hank -- Barry Bonds is just 100 homers away.

Bonds hit his 655th career home run Monday night, connecting in the first inning of the San Francisco Giants' game against the San Diego Padres.


 
Hank Aaron leads the all-time list with 755, followed by Babe Ruth at 714. Bonds is five homers shy of tying his godfather, Willie Mays, for third place at 660.

Bonds hit a solo shot off Brian Lawrence for his 42nd homer of the season. Bonds is tied with St. Louis' Albert Pujols for most in the NL, one behind major league leader Alex Rodriguez of Texas.

J.T. Snow homered two batters before Bonds connected at Pacific Bell Park.

Bonds popped up in his next at-bat, leading off the third inning.

Im going for Barry.....I hope he can break the record....He needs 2 more amazing seasons, more likely 3 to break the record.....Its definatley possible at this point. Thats fucking crazy.  One of the best records in sports.
