The Bonds market

Barry Bonds launches career homer No. 756 off Washington’s Mike Bacsik Jr. 16 years ago tonight in San Francisco.

The homer moves Bonds pass Hank Aaron atop the all-time home run list.

Bonds doubles and singles off Bacsik before homering off the Nationals’ left-hander in the fifth inning.

Bonds – seen here in an Associated Press photo hitting No. 756 – previously is 0-for-2 lifetime against Bacsik.

As it turns out, Bacsik’s father faces Aaron in just one game during in his own career – three days after Aaron’s 755th and final homer in 1976 – and holds Aaron to one single in two at-bats against him.
