Tonight Barry Bonds finally hit home-run No. 755 to tie Hank Aaron for the Major League Baseball home-run record. It was an opposite-field drive of 382 feet to left-center. The blast placed Bonds within one swing of having the most hallowed record in sports.
Commissioner Bud Selig stood up and put his hands in his pockets while Bonds hugged and high-fived his son Nikoli.
The game was still in progress at the time of this post, but Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig issued the following statement which was read by the broadcast staff:
Congratulations to Barry Bonds as he ties Major League Baseball’s Home-run record. No matter what anybody thinks of the controversy surrounding this event, Mr. Bonds’ achievement is noteworthy and remarkable.
As I said previously…out of respect for the tradition of the game, the magnitude of the record and the fact that all citizens in this country are innocent until proven guilty, either I or a representative of my office will attend the next few games and make every attempt to observe the breaking of the all-time home-run record.
