Barry Bonds takes homerun chase to San Diego...
ESPN will have live coverage. He's been in a slump...will he catch Aaron in San Diego?

2. I hope he makes 10 home runs in one game...
and makes some double plays on defense.

4. not hard if you are Barry Bonds.
and obviously there would be other guys on base besides the hitter.

6. freak play. Bonds has the fundamentals to make double...
and even triple plays on rare occasions.

8. thats silly....

11. Norris has an extra arm in his beard...
have to give the odds to him. However, Bonds was trained by Bruce Lee, who once killed Norris.

12. That's not a home run
It'd go in the books as K-E2 — strikeout with an (four-base) error on the catcher.

18. A home run, or any other safe hit
requires a batted ball.

13. From left field?
Not impossible or unheard of, but quite rare.

16. When asked by a reporter about his slump...
Bonds replied 'PUNY HUMAN MAKES BONDS ANGRY! BONDS SMASH!'

19. Bonds has hit more HR's in San Diego than any other city short of SF!
And tonight he's facing Greg Maddux, who he has hit more HR's off than any other pitcher.

I told my kid to try to get an outfield ticket and to bring his glove. Catch that ball and you'll reel in about $2,000,000.00!

If I didnt have something to do tonight I'd take the trolley downtown, with my glove, to see what may happen.

The lucky stiff who catches #756 with become a very wealthy person.

20. They have extra security in the stands... the record-breaking ball could be worth $1 million
