Bonds watch

He hits it high..

He hits it deep..

660 CAREER HOME RUNS!!!

Bonds connected in the fifth inning on a 3-1 pitch from Milwaukee's Matt Kinney and sent the ball over the right-field wall into McCovey Cove for his second homer of the season, a three-run shot.

After he crossed home, Bonds was met by Hall-of-Famer Willie Mays, who gave Bonds the Olympic torch he had carried a few years ago. Godfather and godson, two of the greatest players ever, shared a fun moment as the sold-out home opening day crowd gave Bonds a prolonged ovation.

Numbers to catch:

Babe Ruth: 54
Hank Aaron: 95

GO GIANTS!!

I do. But he had some great moments of his own to call. Jon Miller is still the man.
