Bonds ties Aaron

Bonds_755.jpgOne of my last blog entries from May 28th a year ago, just before I stopped writing here, reported on Barry Bonds passing Babe Ruth on the all-time home run list by hitting his 715th home run.

Today Barry Bonds tied Hank Aaron with number 755. Back then I also wrote that after number 756, that would probably be it for our lifetime in seeing the massive Major League Baseball Home Run records broken. After all, we have seen Roger Maris's record of 61 home runs fall in the last decade, and we may see Henry Aaron's mark fall tomorrow.

But then, earlier today, Alex Rodriguez became the youngest player ever to hit his 500th, beating Jimmie Foxx to the mark by 330 days. A-Rod is only playing in his 14th major league season, which means that he could surpass Barry Bonds in the long run.

It's going to be fun to wait and see.
