 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Alex Rodriguez laughed. Barry Bonds had just suggested that if he does indeed break Hank Aaron's home run record, A-Rod will top Bonds' figure before too long.
"I kind of feel shy talking about it because I hit 14 or 15 home runs in April, and they said I was going to hit 140," Rodriguez said Monday. "I think it's kind of ridiculous, but I take that as a compliment."
Bonds, who turns 43 on July 24, entered the All-Star break with 751 homers, four shy of Hank Aaron's record. Rodriguez, who turns 32 on July 27, leads the majors with 30 home runs this season, raising his total to 494.
