Bonds overwhelmed after equalling Aaron’s record

SAN Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds struggled to describe his emotions after blasting his 755th career home run to equal Hank Aaron’s record on Saturday evening.

The 43-year-old Bonds deposited San Diego Padres starter Clay Hensley’s 2-1 offering into the left field seats with none out in the second inning.

It was the seven-time National League MVP’s 21st homer of the year and first since July 27, although San Diego got some measure of revenge when Khalil Greene delivered a bases-loaded single in the 12th inning to secure a 3-2 victory.
