      Bonds: It's Ball* or Me* in HOF

      (Newser) - Barry Bonds won't show up for his own induction if the Baseball Hall of Fame exhibits his record-breaking No. 756 ball with an asterisk, he said in a TV interview last night. "There's no such thing as an asterisk in baseball," the slugger complained, arguing that people shouldn't be allowed to "alter history." More »

      Bonds' 756 Ball Headed to Hall*

      (Newser) - Barry Bonds’ record-breaking 756th home run ball will be branded with the asterisk many fans think his record deserves. Fans decided the ball's fate after fashion designer Marc Ecko bought the ball for $752,467, and put it up for vote. The asterisk won out over sending the ball to the Hall of Fame unmarked or launching it into outer space, the AP reports. More »

      (Newser) - Barry Bonds beat expectations again, as his record-breaking ball sold for well above industry estimates.

      Bonds Plans to Check Out After 2008 Season

      (Newser) - Baseball's controversial new home run king will likely pack it in after the 2008 season. Barry Bonds, who passed Hank Aaron's mark of 755 career home runs last week, said he hopes to keep slugging only one more year and try to reach his remaining goals--3,000 hits and a World Series ring. "I don't think two years I can take," he confessed. More »

      Bush Gets a Line on Bonds

      (Newser) - Barry Bonds took 21 years to set the career home run record, so the half-day delay in President Bush's congratulatory phone call probably seems like the blink of an eye. The call went out from the White House this afternoon, the Chicago Tribune reports, and Tony Snow attributed the delay to conflicting sleep schedules. More »

      Rookie Upton Dazzles in AZ Loss

      (Newser) - In his first home game, soon-to-be-20 Justin Upton tripled, homered, and doubled, before narrowly grounding out in the 9th to miss the cycle.  All told, he had three of the four hits against a resurgent Tom Gorzelanny, the young Pirates ace who had stumbled in his last three outings but easily got the 8-3 win.

      756*

      (Newser) - Barry Bonds became Major League Baseball's all-time leading home run hitter last night, brushing aside Hank Aaron's vaunted record with a 435-foot solo shot to right center in the bottom of the 5th. Bonds 756th came off a 3-2 pitch from Nats starter Mike Bacsik—whose father denied Aaron his 756th home run in 1976. More »
