San Francisco slugger Barry Bonds may have set the new Major League Baseball home run record, but that did not help his team win Tuesday night’s game. The Washington Nationals came back to defeat the Giants 8-6.
American Baseball star Barry Bonds has hit his 755th career home run, tying the record set by Hank Aaron for the most homers in major league history. Bonds hit the historic home run late Saturday in a 3-2 loss against the Padres at their home in San Diego, California.
Three milestones are up for grabs tonight as New York Mets pitcher Tom Glavine goes for career win No. 300, San Fransisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds tries to tie the career home run record and New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez goes for career home run No. 500.
With each home run the past two seasons, Barry Bonds has inched ever so closer to a hallowed baseball benchmark – the 755 home runs hit by Hank Aaron during his career.
