Bonds Smashes Homer #715

Bonds finally did it. After much suspense and fanfare, he hit home run number 715 to pass Babe Ruth on the all-time major league home run list. Bonds is all alone in second behind Hank Aaron.

Bonds must have heard that ESPN is putting his reality show "Bonds on Bonds" on hiatus indefinitely. The network announced that after two more episodes, it will discontinue the programdue to lack of fan interest. Only if Bonds suddenly gets hot and start swinging the way Albert Pujols has been will it resurrect the show.

You win some, you lose some.

Have you ever seen a less covered accomplishment? I know he's only moved into second place, and he doesn't hold the record...but it was pretty anti-climatic from a coverage standpoint

Yes, the build-up was bigger than the coverage. There's not a lot more you can say about Bonds' accomplishment now that the deed is done.
