The shot heard around the world....and came back to the same spot

The shot heard around the world....and came back to the same spot
…And then there were two.

Barry Bonds, the slugger everyone loves to hate, will be traveling to Milwaukee today for a three-day gala with the Brewers.

And why should I give a shit, you might ask?

Well, exactly 31 years ago (to the day) another dude who could hit the long ball, named Aaron, smacked the last of his 755 homers, the most Major League baseball has ever seen. (Sadaharu Oh, a retired Japanese ball player, smacked a total of 868 throughout his career, although Americans love to forget that)

I hear there’s even a spot marked off in the parking lot for where Aarons last ball fell.

And with two left to go until Bonds has toppled Aaron’s record, who knows if they might fall only a few feet from one another.
