My mom called me from Wrigley Field yesterday (while I’m spending the day in a office with panoramic view of sheetrock) to let me know that Barry Bonds had hit homerun #752, just shy of Hank Aaron’s record of 755 (later in the game he hit #753, a three run shot). Apparently he was roundly booed, either because he’s a steroid using cheat about to despoil the pantheon of greats or just because he’s an all-around asshole. Fortunately the Cubs won, 8-9.
I can’t believe I missed Wrigley field. booo on being stuck in Boston while family parties in Chicago!
