You know, I was writing something completely different, watching ESPN2 and the Giants/Nationals game, and with one swing of a bat by Barry Bonds, everything I was writing got pushed aside.

First off, congratulations to Barry Bonds for hitting career home run #756. He absolutely CRUSHED the ball and he and everyone else knew from the moment it left his bat that it was out of there.

Now, lets put away all of this debate of steroids-this and steroids-that, this is an absolutely historic moment that will be remembered for a long time. This was THE record in all of sports to break, and someone actually did it. You’re not going to see this everyday folks.

Kudos to Hank Aaron for preparing a pre-taped speech and for the classy words he said. He didn’t have to do that, but he did, and I applaud that.

Kudos to Mike Bacsik for tipping his cap to Barry afterwards. He didn’t have to do that. His name will now be etched in history, just like Al Dowling when he gave up Hank Aaron’s homerun.

We also saw a very rare moment of emotion by Barry, recognizing his father, Bobby Bonds, up in the heavens. It was something that we’ll probably never see again, just like this moment.

I just missed home run 755 by a few innings, I’m extremely grateful to see this live on TV.

I don’t know about you, but this was a very historic moment and I’m going to revel in it for a little bit. For those who watched this moment on TV just like I did, you should too…
