715 served

Bonds 40 homers shy of Aaron after passing Ruth SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Now there's only Hank Aaron.

Barry Bonds hit his 715th home run Sunday to slip past Babe Ruth and pull in right behind Aaron, whose long-standing record of 755 may prove even tougher to crack.

So let the debate begin: Can Bonds hold up to break it?

"If you keep playing long enough anything is possible," he said.

No. 715 played out exactly the way San Francisco's slugger wanted -- he hit it at home, in front of the fans who adore him.

It just took him a little longer than he had hoped. The historic home run came eight days after he tied the Babe for second place on the career chart.

in my opinion hes a embarasment and thats not only my opinion.
