No. 755 was an opposite-field drive to left field, moving Bonds within one swing of having baseball's pinnacle of power all to himself.
Commissioner Bud Selig stood up and put his hands in his pockets while
Bonds' family hugged and high-fived. When Bonds crossed the plate, he lifted
his batboy son, Nikolai, and carried him several steps in an embrace.
The Petco Park crowd stood and cheered, with some boos mixed in, when the
San Francisco slugger homered off Clay Hensley in the second inning. Several
fans held up asterisk signs.
Bonds was booed as he headed to left field at the end of the inning.
