On May 2, 2006 at SBC Park in San Francisco, CA, Barry Bonds hit his 712th home run with no men on and 2 outs in the 8th inning off of Scott Linebrink of the San Diego Padres.
With his perjury trial going into limbo last spring and his wife filing for divorce last summer, Barry Bonds’ baseball career seems to be slowly imploding. He still wants to play, but no team had signed him for 2008 or 2009. He is now 45 years old and it is unlikely he will ever return to playing baseball. It will be interesting to see how his Hall of Fame campaign turns out.
