 CINCINNATI (AP) - In the same city where Hank Aaron completed his quest, Barry Bonds came out hammering. Swinging at the first three pitches he saw, Bonds connected on his third try for homer No. 751 on Tuesday night. He's now four shy of Aaron's record following the San Francisco Giants' 7-3 loss to the Cincinnati Reds.
"He's a guy that people were saying: 'Is Father Time catching up with him?'" manager Bruce Bochy said.
Instead, Bonds got closer to catching Aaron in the city where Hammerin' Hank hit No. 714, tying Babe Ruth's previous mark. That record-book homer on opening day 1974 landed at Riverfront Stadium, which has since been demolished.
