It fit the moment so well. I'm one of many Bonds skeptics but had to watch to say I witnessed it. I wasn't sure how I would respond but I cheered and then took the moment in with full understanding that this was not as special of some of the other great sports moments I've seen over the years. As soon as I heard it, I quickly pressed rewind on my dvr box to hear how you both captured the moment. I completely agree with how you guys, let the pictures tell the story. You nailed the part that many will view Aaron as still the home run king. Kudos to Bascik and the Nationals how they handled the situation with so much class. You, Don and the Nationals are top notch. It was great to see the Nationals pull out the win. <br/><br/>Thanks for making it memorable. Bob,

He stands for everything that is wrong with pro sports. Just because you are blessed with amazing skills (which Bonds is; which begs the question Barry, why juice?)doesn't mean you get to treat people with contempt and disrespect. The only good thing that has come from Bonds chase to 756 is that it sheds light on how great of a man Henry "Hank" Aaron is/was. He helped pave the way for african-american ball players like Barry Bonds. All Barry has done has disgrace the memories of Jackie Robinson, Josh Gibson (who probably hit about 1000 Hr's but this country was too ignorant at the time to allow him to play in MLB), Satchel Paige, and others. Thank god for A-Rod (who will shatter your record god willing), because Barry your bust doesn't belong in the Hall, not among those hallowed names mentioned above. Instead I hope you, Sammy, Rafael, Sheffield, McGwire create your own steroids hall of fame. You cheated the game, you disrespected yourself, but really all you did was make an entire nation hate you. To me, when I teach my kids baseball, Henry Aaron will be the homerun king not Barry Bonds. I will teach them about Hammerin' Hank not you Barry.<br/><br/>Bob, you called the play the right way, but unfortunately it was a moment that will go down in history as being artificially produced. I hope you are still around to call A-Rod's 757th...

I also got to watch our guys come from behind to win the game, that was most special to me I think. They were able to put all emotion from that special moment for one player aside, and come together as a team to win...what a great night for baseball!

Thanks for posting about it. It's great to read your first-hand account and it brings the atmosphere more to life for those of us that could only watch it on TV.

I did wake up at one point, just in time to take the lead. I trusted Rauch and Cordero not to disappoint.<br/><br/>We really need to put the Marlins a game behind us, so we can truly be out of last place. The comments on the team by the national sportswriters are starting to be more respectful, and they talk about Manny as a Manager of the Year candidate. He won't have a chance if we don't escape the cellar for good. I’m sorry I couldn’t hear the call-my 4:20 alarm makes West Coast games tough.
