Barry Bonds is the new home run king
I wasn’t even watching tv last night and I almost missed it. I turned on Sports Center to see scores and Barry was next to bat. I sat up and watched his at bat and thought he was gonna strike out.
With a 3-2 count he hit the ball hard. As soon as you heard the bat connect with the ball you knew it was a home run. His team mates and coaching staff came out to congratulate him at home plate. I thought it was a nice touch that the Nationals left the field to give him his time to celebrate.
Hank Aaron appearing on the jumbotron was nice as well. He didn’t go to the game but he made his speech and passed the torch to Barry. All in all it was a pretty good night. I’m glad I turned the game on, even if it was by accident.
