Bonds Pursuit of Aaron and 756

Aug 2 at LA Dodgers

Hmmmm....still possible

Hard for me to say but since the playoffs are out, I want a top 3 pick. Maybe we could get our own Fielder or Howard then.

Top three pick uh? Sounds good... though you know, they'd probably follow suit and take a pitcher. :banghead:

When Barry gets hot, he then gets walked like crazy until he cools down. I wonder how many homers he would have totaled up through the years, if he got pitched to, without all the intentional and semi-intentional B. on Balls. Got to be a bunch.

Also have to wonder how many Pac Bell has stole from him.

how much are giants tickets right now???? and how much are rental boats, outfield seats and how much does it cost to stand in the street near the stadium?

I'm gonna give your question a go but the numbers are based on my best guess as to those in position the catch the big hr.

In The Stadium; about 3000 fans could possibly be in position to catch the ball. being near a bonds hotspot could better your chances to 2000 to 1.A good ticket in the hot zone might cost you $1000. If you could get any ticket for for $100-200. and hang out somewhere between left center and the right field foul line... $100 for a 2000 to one 1 shot to get a possible $500K seems much better odds than the lottery.'8)

In the Water; My guess that if Barry were to pop one at SF, it would have about a three in ten chance of somehow landing in the water. With say 200 small boats in position of the splashdown, those in the water would have much less comparable compition to actually end up with the ball. Not sure if you could rent a ride, probably have to bring your own or rent from elsewhere. No doubt the water is your cheapest way with the least compition, has got to be a blast, even though the historic ball might not get there.

With $500,000.00 on the line, no doubt, if you are anywhere near where it could land. You may be in position, with decent odds, to change your life. At the very least, you would be there, be a part of Baseball History. Go BARRY!!:clap:

They're having a 5K walk/run before the game on the 12th. First 3,000 to sign up for the race get in free. I'm guessing it would be standing room, but not sure where that is. The arcade is gonna be packed in RF.

It's free to be on the walkway between the outfield wall and McCovey Cove. This may be a good place to be, as you can watch the game outside the fence there. When Bonds comes up, move back towards the Cove and catch the ball before it falls in there.

Well, Us hated ones are bringing our show to L.A. tonight. One lucky Dodger fan may snag a Bonds HR worth serious cash. The talk is about the record breaking ball but i'd have to guess that the record tieing ball is worth bank as well.

Any guesses as to the worth of HR ball #755?

755, there it is. i guess it's congrats to padres fans. and maybe congrats bonds?

I thought the Padres fans did themselves proud. They stood, cheered and aplauded far longer than i expected. There were some boo's mixed in but they were drowned out by the expressed appreciation the crowd showed of Bonds Historical HR. This is what they came to see, they were not disapointed.

And to Barry? Congrats dude,...it's about time!!
