Barry Bonds hit a home run yesterday giving him 699 homers for his career. His next one will obviously give him 700 and he will become only the third person to hit 700 career home runs, with Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron.

I’m hoping he does, but I’m hoping it takes a few days so the hype gets going. About a month ago, I heard he was 7 homers away and so I bought one of his rookie cards on thepit.com, which is an online baseball card trading site. Barry Bonds is my retirement fund. However, since hitting his latest home run his card has remained unchanged in value, hmm, my retirement plans never work out.
