Bonds hits home run No. 714, ties Babe Ruth

May 20, 2006 OAKLAND, Calif. -- The agonizing wait is over for Barry Bonds. He and the Babe are even at 714. The second-inning drive landed about eight rows up in the seats overlooking the high fence just to the left of the out-of-town scoreboard. Though the A's don't provide estimated distances on home runs, this one appeared to travel about 400 feet -- far from being one of Bonds' trademark behemoth drives. Booed when he was introduced before the game, the Giants' star received a long standing ovation after his home run, and the game was delayed about 90 seconds. Next up is Hank Aaron's record of 755. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2452099
