    Signed! A-Rod Inks 10-Year, $275 Million Contract

    Posted December 13, 2007 by nick
    Found in: Breaking News, MLB

    We knew Alex Rodriguez was going to remain a New York Yankee, we just didn’t know the exact amount until it was etched in stone.

    Well, the engraving has been made as A-Rod signed his life away to a 10-year, $275 million contract with the New York Yankees after opting out of his previous 10-year contract at $250 million.

    Not bad, a new record. Especially since the Yanks said they would even talk to Rodriguez if he came out of the previous contract.

    Under the new contract, he has about $30 million in bonus money to be earned when he achieves historic milestones. He currently sits only 244 home runs behind Barry Bonds and is at 18th place on the all-time home run list.

    The most Rodriguez will make in a year will be $32 million in 2009 and 2010 and the lowest will be $20 million during the final two years of his contract. Next year he’ll earn $27 million.

    It’s good to see both sides happy and so am I. Let’s hope the Yankees continue to build up that pitching and perhaps keep going after Johan Santana.

    Breaking News: Barry Bonds Indicted by Federal Jury

    I didn’t see this one coming today.Barry Bonds

    But it looks like Barry Bonds has some explaining to do. The all-time home run king was indicted today by a federal grand jury on perjury and obstruction of justices charges.

    This comes after a four-year investigation into whether or not he lied under oath to a grand jury looking into steroid use by elite athletes and only three months after he broke Hank Aaron’s record.

    Hmm, I wonder now if there is going to be an asterisk on the ball?

    I’ll keep you up to speed when new information arises.

    What It Was Like When Barry Hit 756

    Well, basically it was just lots of screaming and yelling, but the place was out of control.

    I’m surprised no one got trampled to death in that environment.

    Watch it and listen for yourself. You know when Barry hits it when the entire stadium erupts with camera flashes. Crazy.

    Bonds Passes Aaron, Becomes Home Run King

    It’s finally over.Home Run King

    Barry Bonds sent a fastball from the Washington Nationals’ Mark Bacsik into the rightfield seats of San Francisco for No. 756, launching him passed Hank Aaron and into the top of the record books as the all-time home run king.

    We all knew it was going to happen, it was the “when” that was in question. Amidst all the steroids talk and the controversy swirling around Barry Bonds, this was a night that should just be heralded for what it really is.

    One of the greatest achievements in the history of all sports.

    In front of 43,000 hometown fans and even his godfather, Willie Mays, the 33-year old record was broken by a man that many perceive to be the most hated man in baseball today. Just like in 1973 when many didn’t want Aaron to break the record held by Babe Ruth, the same can be said for Barry Bonds. Although the circumstances for both are much different.

    Commissioner Bud Selig and Hank Aaron both weren’t on hand to personally see the record broken, but both did congratulate Bonds. Selig had two emissaries attend the game in addition to a phone call, while Aaron congratulated him in a video tape that aired on the stadium’s video board during a 10-minute in game tribute.

    But rest assured, the Bonds watch isn’t over. Now people are already focused on just how many he will hit before his career is over. Will he hit 800? Will he pass Sadaharu Oh?

    The questions and the eyes will always be there until he finally hangs up his glove for good. But for now, I salute you Barry Bonds.

    Congratulations.

    Bonds Wants to Be the Best, Better than Oh

    Posted August 6, 2007 by nick
    Found in: MLB

    I was a little shocked about what Barry Bonds said in an interview to the news website,Sadaharu Oh and Hank Aaron WTF-TV.com of Las Vegas.

    In it Bonds talks about how he wants to be the best EVER in baseball. In the world. Which means that the next milestone he intends to beat the 868 career home runs held by Japanese Legend Sadaharu Oh of the Yomiuri Giants.

    In the interview, when asked about what he thought about beating Hank Aaron, Bonds is quoted as saying, “Hank Aaron? [Expletive] that guy. I can outhit him, and besides, I’m not even worried about him. I’m not worried about the American record, they’re going to ’star’ me anyway. I’m going for the best in the world.”

    Those are some pretty bold words when referring to a legend and Hall of Famer.

    This interview was supposedly done by a good friend of Barry Bonds who works at the news station. Some good friend he is to be airing this out on the news and Internet. And with it being a news source, I’m assuming that this story isn’t fabricated at all.

    Alex Rodriguez Barry Bonds ties Aaron

    Barry Bonds finally tied Hank Aaron moments ago, with a shot to left-center field against the San Diego Padres to reach 755.

    Bonds, who is 43, also tied the record for the most home runs hit after the age of 40 with his 72nd blast. He’ll share this record with Carlton Fisk before he claims this one for his own sometime soon.

    Also, Alex Rodriguez ended his 10-day home run drought by hitting a blast to left field against the Kansas City Royals to become the youngest player to reach 500. He did it at the age of 32, which he just turned last Friday.

    Milestone Tuesday? Not Quite

    Posted August 1, 2007 by nick
    Found in: MLB

    So yesterday I got all giddy about three potential milestone moments that could have been reached last night. Well, needless to say, the only thing shattered last night was my hopes of a momentous evening.

    Here is what went down last night.

    Barry Bonds: The controversial slugger went 0-for-2 with 2 walks. The boos were so thick, the ball couldn’t find its way out of the ballpark. Since moving within one shy of Hank Aaron last Friday, he’s hit 1-for-9 with seven walks.

    Alex Rodriguez: There were eight home runs hit last night by the Yankees, tying a club record. Unfortunately, none came from A-Rod’s bat as he finished the night 0-for-5 and stuck at 499. Good news is that he still has a little under a year to hit it to still become the fastest player to 500. I have a good feeling too he’ll do it. But that’s just me.

    Tom Glavine: The lefty pitched a strong game only giving up one earned run in 6 1/3 innings. Unfortunately, the other team played just as well and Glavine was given a no decision as the Mets lost 4-2 to the Brewers in 13 innings, denying his 300th win.
