Around the Baseball World 7.27.2007 [David Stefanini]

Barry Bonds hit career home run #754 tonight, leaving him 1 homer shy of tying the record. This topic has been beaten to death by the media. The game is still in progress and if Bonds is to tie the record I will immediately let everyone know.

As far as big named pitchers go, Randy Johnson is going to have season ending back surgery. The surgery is going to be a major operation that is going to take a lot of time to heal. Johnson said, "I have no intention at this time of retiring" Why not? What let does he have to prove in his career? He is going to go down as one of the best pitchers in the history of the game. He has won the major titles in his professional career. Go home Randy and enjoy the day you get accepted into the Hall of Fame.
