    • Barry Bonds home run chase
      • Bonds hits his 756th career home run in the fifth inning of the San Francisco Giants' game against the Washington Nationals at AT&T Park. Bonds hits the 435-foot shot to right-center field against pitcher Mike Bacsik in the bottom of the fifth inning with one out at 8:51 PM PDT to pass Hank Aaron. Bonds was greeted at home plate by his family, his teammates, and his godfather, Willie Mays. The AT&T Park video board then displayed a videotaped message of congratulations from Aaron, who had earlier expressed disinterest in Bonds' chase. The Nationals, though, came back and won the game by a score of 8–6.
      • The man who caught the historic ball was identified as Matt Murphy, a 22-year-old from Queens, New York who is a fan of the New York Mets and was on a stopover en route to Australia. Murphy caught the ball, survived a near-riot and was given a police escort. (Newsday.com)
