I Was There ~ Barry Bonds, the new Home Run King # 756

I was hoping that Barry was going to break the record during the last homestand when I had a ticket for every game. When it didn't happen I figured I'd have to see it on television. Lucky for me, Barry broke the record on Italian Heritage Day at AT&T Park and it was one of the two games I had a ticket for during the week!



What was it like to be there? It was the single most incredible sports moment I have ever experienced! Fireworks were going off everywhere, streamers were flying, people kept saying, "Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!" It was absolutely AMAZING!



And if that weren't exciting enough, Barry's family was out on the field to congratulate him, there was a brawl in the bleachers as fans scrambled for the valuable HR ball, a looney hopped the fence and ran onto the field where he was tackled and arrested by police and, of course, there was the special message from Hank Aaron.



Once again, the San Francisco Giants were able to perfect a moment for all to remember for the rest of their lives. For those of us who were present to witness the homer, it is something we will never forget and a memory we will always cherish.



On behalf of the Italians sitting in the View Level on Italian Heritage Day ... GRAZIE, BARRY!

All-Star Souvenirs in my eBay Store

Naturally, I do have a few souvenirs from the 2007 All-Star Game listed for sale in my eBay store. I will probably add a few more in the next couple of weeks. I just haven't had the time to sort through all of my stuff to decide what I want to keep and what I am willing to pass along to someone else. If you enjoy collecting baseball memorabilia, be sure to take a look!
