Barry Bonds is moving towards career home run #756, which would exceed Hank Aaron’s career mark of 755. Bonds did not play in today’s game at Milwaukee. He currently has 753 homers, and will face Atlanta in San Francisco Monday evening.
Unfortunately for Bonds, the grand jury that has been investigating possible tax evasion and/or perjury charges against the Giants’ slugger has been extended for another six months, according to this story in the New York Daily News. A source told the Daily News, “They seem to feel they [the US Attorney’s Office] have a strong case.” Since the grand jury will not reconvene until September, Bonds will likely break the record long before then. Bonds told the Los Angeles Times, when asked if he was concerned about the possible indictment, “No.”
It should be an interesting September, both at the ballparks and in the corridors of the Federal Courthouse in New York.
