Bonds coming home

August 23rd, 2007

Legendary baseball player Barry Bonds, who is getting ready to become the home-run king of baseball, stated that the pressure was off after reaching the level of Hank Aaron, who was at the top of the all-time list. The hardest part of his career, in which he tried to equal Aaron’s mark ended on Sunday.

Bonds thinks he has made some improvements in the swing, and if he goes on like this, the spectators will not be waiting for a long time.On the 27^th of July, Bonds hit home run  No 754, and since then over 400 journalists have been following him day and night. They will all gather again at the San Francisco’s home game versus the Washington Nationals.Outfielder Bonds is getting more calm and relaxed in comparison with the days, when he was still not certain whether he would make this feat or not. Barry stated that the pressure of arriving at Aaron’s mark often gave him rashes and caused him feel sick.Barry is not concerned that he has not seen a lot of the pitching staff of the Nationals. He judges by what they’ve done before. He has been in the play for 22 years and has got some experience.Bonds has been in the majors for 22 years, and he is looking for the record-breaking homer versus a 22-year-old pitcher who began the season with the Potomac Nationals, a Virginia outpost of the Carolina League.Bonds could boast of 754 home runs, when left-handed Lannan received a victory in his first major league game on Thursday. Lannan’s overall major league career is 10 innings pitched.The Giants arena is the only place in the National League, where Bonds is welcomed at all times, and where spectators do not cry out the accusations that he has taken steroids and other illegal drugs. Therefore, he was definitely looking forward to arriving there, which meant getting home.
