Bonds Blasts 756
Incase you have been living under a rock, Barry Bonds has been chasing history the last couple weeks. He finally caught it last night when he hit homerun #756 to put him alone as MLB's homerun king, passing "Hammerin" Hank Aaron. It was an emotional night for Bonds, Giants fans and Major League Baseball. Congrats Barry!!
New Yorker Catches 756
A 22 year old man, passing through San Francisco, caught the homerun ball hit by Barry Bonds. The ball is estimated at $400,000-$500,000, but Mark McGwire's 70th homerun back in 1998 went for 3.3 million. The fan bought his ticket right before the game because of a layover at the airport.
Quinn Inks Deal With Browns
The Cleveland Browns finally signed second, first round pick Brady Quinn to a 5 year deal worth 20.2 million. He is guaranteed 7.75 million and the contract could be worth as much as 30 million with escalators. Quinn may not have the starting job after missing 11 days of training camp. Browns coach Romeo Crennel noted that Quinn looked lost in his first practice, so he may have a long ways to go. Raiders first round pick, first overall, JaMarcus Russell is still unsigned and as of right now, they seem to be miles apart with the negotiations. The only other first rounder that is unsigned is New York Jets cornerback, Darrelle Revis, 14th overall pick.
