For better or worse, Barry Bonds (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=3918), whose charge toward baseball immortality has been tainted by allegations that he has used performance-enhancing drugs, moved one home run away from becoming baseball's new home run king.
Bonds' homer in the second inning of Saturday's game against the Padres in San Diego was the 755th shot of his 22-year career. The blast tied Major League Baseball's most hallowed record that had been held by Henry Aaron for 33 years.
Bonds swung, took a half-dozen steps and clapped his hands. With no trace of a smile but a strong shot for all the doubters, he caught Aaron and tied the career home run record Saturday night with an opposite-field drive to left field.
