Barry Bons Barry Bons Breaks Baseball Record of Home Runs |
By: San Francisco Native Gian

Babe Ruth's record was broken today by Barry Barry. He hit his milestone home run with a 2 run hit to the center field. Pitched by Colorado's Byung-Hyun Kim, Barry hit his record breaking Home Run at his home field with many of his fans.
The ball reached all the way to the 15th row at the baseball park. So who got catched the ball? A lucky fan got the ball off a platform beyond the fence. The ball stayed there for some time until this lucky dude got it.
With his new record, the baseball records look something like this:
Aaron 755, Barry Bons 715, Ruth 714.
Barry Bons connected at 2:14 p.m. in the fourth inning, then immediately raised his arms and clapped his hands together before beginning his historic trot. Kim became the 421st different pitcher to surrender a home run to the 41-year-old slugger -- yet another meaningful drive Kim has given up, having allowed a pair of monstrous World Series homers in 2001.
Barry Bons hugged his son and kissed his 16-year-old son, bat boy Nikolai, as he crossed home plate, then was greeted by his teammates at the top of the dugout. He took one curtain call in which he tipped his hat and raised both arms and blew a kiss to the crowd.
Moments later, he came out again and waved.
Bonds traveled about 445 feet, and the Giants quickly unfurled two banners from the light towers on either side of the main scoreboard in center field: One of Barry Bons on the left side and the other of Hammerin' Hank's 755.
Barry Bons, who had walked on five pitches in the first inning, went five games between 714 and 715. He hit 714 on May 20 at Oakland, a span of 17 at-bats and 24 plate appearances.
Barry Bons loved by many at home despite the steroids accusations that surrounds his home run pursuit.
This is the first time in almost 85 years that Ruth hasn't been in the top two on the career home run list, according to David Vincent of the Society for American Baseball Research. He passed Sam Thompson to move into second on June 20, 1921, when he hit his 127th career home run.
Barry Bons has hit most of his other milestone home runs in San Francisco: 500, 600, 700 along with 660 and 661 to tie and pass godfather Willie Mays. In 2001, Barry Bons hit the final three of his 73 homers at home to break Mark McGwire's single-season record of 70.
Aaron passed Ruth in April 1974 -- and now Aaron is the only one left for Barry Bons to chase.
This was Barry Bons' last chance during the six-game homestand before the Giants left town for another week on the road. |
