715 Barry Bonds stands alone at No. 715. He hit the milestone home run with a two-run shot to center field Sunday, moving past Babe Ruth into sole possession of second place on the career list behind Hank Aaron.

Damon Hits Fan, Hits Dinger After losing his bat and smacking a fan, Johnny Damon hits his first homer as a Yankee, then receives a curtain call from Yanks fans. A curtain call? For hitting an insurance homer in the eighth inning of a 6-2 game? Against the Royals? I sincerely hope the curtain call doesn't become as trite and annoying as Freddie Mitchell celebrating a six-yard first down catch in the second quarter.

Despite the unnervingly close look I had at the old man who was hit in the shoulder by Johnny Damon's hit at the game yesterday, it didn't take away from the fact that it was his first career home run with the Yankees. I don't think it would've mattered if they were playing the Red Sox or the Devil Rays in this case, but just that it was his first and it should be remembered. In fact, Kelly Stinnett, the catcher who was also newly acquired, had his first hit with the Yankees, and despite only being a single, the hit obtained a huge applause and excitement, with Joe Torre saving the ball. So as closing, whether Johnny Damon is hitting it out of the park or Kelly Stinnett is just hitting singles, the Yanks fans will stay faithful to their players, supporting them. Kay?

i definitely agree with you, commander. no matter if he hits 755 or not, i don't think i'll ever see him as a player as good or better than babe ruth or hank aaron.
