Tuesday August 07, 2007 Barry Bonds breaks Hank Aaron's all-time Major League home run record
San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds hit career home run No. 756 on Tuesday night, breaking the record Hank Aaron set in 1976 with the Milwaukee Brewers.
With one out in the fifth inning, Bonds hit a 3-2 pitch from the Washington Nationals' Mike Bacsik deep into the seats in right-centrefield at AT&T Park. After making contact, Bonds raised both arms in the air and watched the ball leave the park. When he crossed the plate following his 22nd home run of the season, he was met by his godfather, hall-of-famer and Giants great Willie Mays.
The game was stopped for a 10-minute ceremony in which Bonds thanked the Giants fans, his teammates, his family and his late father, former major-league star Bobby Bonds.
