Bonds hits #752 and #753 in Chicago.

Barry Bonds smacked two homers(19) at Wrigley field today to bring him to 753 home runs and 2 away from tying Hank Aaron for the all-time mark. He hit the first one in the top of the 2nd inning off Ted Lilly over the right-field bleachers and onto Sheffield Avenue in Chicago. Then in the 7th he hit a three-run shot off reliever Will Ohman to left center field to bring the total to 753 for his career. Bonds was 3 for 3 with 6 RBI's(48) but the Giants still lost to the Cubs 9-8. The second ball looked like it was thrown back but it was not the special ball that they use when Bonds comes to the plate. Bonds said the changing of the ball is distracting to him.
