Barry Bonds moved past Hank Aaron last night into the top spot on the all-time home run list.

The game stopped for a few minutes as Bonds hugged his family and Willie Mays and then the fans and Bonds were treated to a video message from Aaron.

Aaron, who last month responded badly to a question about Bonds, paid a great tribute to Bonds, and more important, the game with his kind comments.

I figure if Aaron can honor Bonds, then the rest of us should think the same way.

LeBron James was fouled, but the Cavs can't wait to take the last shot.

Barry Bonds hit his 739th home run Saturday. Are you folks mad, excited or carefree about his pursuit of Hank Aaron's record?

I thought that I would be more interested but, really, I think Bonds will break the record but that Alex Rodriguez will break it, possibly finishing his career with more than 800 home runs.
