Bonds Hits 755 To Tie Hank
When Barry Bonds hit number 755 off Clay Hensley in the second inning of Saturday’s game in San Diego, the stadium was filled with hypocrisy galore. An initial sound of excitement and cheers was heard as Bonds first crushed the pitch high and deep into left-center but once the San Francisco slugger rounded first base, about 40% (judging by the replay w/ sound) of those revealed the hypocrite within and defected to boos. On their feet cheering one minute, booing the next? Hypocrisy. Commissioner Bud Selig was shown placing his hands in his pockets instead of cheering after the blast, proving that he is willing to collect money Bonds earns him, but he will not even give the man a golf clap when he ties one of the hardest records to reach in sports. Hypocrisy.

Congrats to #25, who is now atop the mountain with Hammerin’ Hank Aaron. Aaron’s interview saying he didn’t want to take anything away from the moment, detracting reporters from reporting on the actual person breaking the record, was typical of the stoic image we’ve seen of Hank in the news.

Alex Rodriguez, Youngest Ever To Reach 500
The man dubbed as the next “chaser of 755+” hit number 500 on the same day Bonds hit 755. He passes Jimmie Foxx as the youngest to reach 500 and the most surprising part was that Yankee fans didn’t boo him for not waiting to hit a grand slam instead of a 3-run shot. His excitement for the moment showed off what fans hope for — that a player is genuinely happy with what he does for a living. Yankee fans, enjoy the historic mark reached by the baseball player who is very “NOW” because “LATER” he will be reaching milestones in an “anything but…” jersey not covered in pinstripes. By then when you boo him (on every other day or whatever the schedule is) it will only motivate him more.

Tom Glavine Reaches 300 Wins All-Time
By far one of the classiest baseball players from an outside view, Glavine reached the 300 win mark Sunday and celebrated the moment with fans, teammates and his family. Must be nice to have everyone not speculate on your ability to stick around for 300 wins well into years beyond those expected for the average pitcher. Glavine is now one of only 4 other lefties to have ever reached the mark. Many congrats to him.

Hall of Fame Game — Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New Orleans Saints
The Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints kicked off organized football action last night in the annual Hall of Fame Game played in Canton, Ohio. The Steelers pulled off a 20-7 win as Big Ben looked good, the Saints weren’t that great and… well, the game meant essentially nothing but HURRAY! Football season is upon us… (tabloid stories year-round do not count!)

Wizards Deal Navarro… Finally
Fulfilling the demands of Spaniards, the Wizards agreed to deal Juan Carlos Navarro to the Memphis Grizzlies for a conditional first-round draft choice. Had they not completed the deal by this weekend, the buyout of JCN’s contract would have jumped from $2 mil to $14 mil. If the ‘zards were owned by Dan Snyder, they could’ve/would’ve taken their sweet, sweet time.
