Not only is he making headlines, he?s also proving himself a truly gifted hitter, reminding Pirates fans, once again, of what might have been. His greatness is increasingly inescapable - as is my boyfriend?s undisguised glee. Thursday night, Bonds hit his 60th, on pace to meet, or even break McGwire?s record.
