Bonds:Home-Run King?

We are surrounded by insurmountable opportunity." For Pogo fans (circa 1973!) and Barry Bonds fans, this may describe the hiatus that Bonds finds himself in at the moment. It's been nine days since his last home run. It may be insignificant, but one has to wonder if he's getting tired--or his boundless belief in himself and his ability is foundering.

Looking at recent games, he's hit balls, been walked, and has done his job. The big draw for the Giants, however, is the likelihood that he'll match and break Hank Aaron's career home run record. Other younger players are coming along who will certainly break that record one day, but it's Bonds' goal to do it before them . . .
