When all the glitz and glamour of hitting a second place home run ball dies out, the current Barry Bonds is nothing more than an average player—perhaps even slightly below average. Is Bonds worth $22,000,000 per year? This season he is hitting .262 with 21 RBI and 7 home runs. Ok, yes, he has not played in every single game. However, he has played in 45 of the 56 games though. In fact, not playing further deteriorates his worth.

It had to happen sooner or later. Barry bonds finally hit home run 715 of his career at San Francisco. It was a nice treat for the home fans as the Giants were playing their last game of the home stand. Barry Bonds now sits all alone in second place for career homeruns. After the game, Bonds and fellow players toasted with champagne. Now that this personal milestone was reached, the only other question that remains is whether or not Barry Bonds will keep playing to break the record.
