May 2006: Barry hit 714th!
Some of us are old enough to remember Mantle’s last home run in ’68. Or, Mays and Aaron hitting their 500th, 600th and so on.
Of course, I remember Aaron tying and breaking Ruth’s record. It was a Monday Night Game early in ’74. The pitcher was Al Downing of the LA Dodgers. I can remember Aaron rounding the bases and getting a handshake from Bill Russell, the Dodgers’ shortstop.
He was greeted at the plate by a young Dusty Baker. Tom House, who later served as the Rangers’ pitching coach caught the ball in the bullpen.
It was very exciting. Like many fans, I was invested in Aaron’s achievements.
Sorry but I don’t have that feeling today. Bonds just does not have the same positive impact on me that Aaron or Mays did.
Maybe it’s because I grew up loving Mantle, Aaron and Mays. Maybe it’s all the stuff about steroids.
