This day in enhanced history:
August 4, 2007, Barry Bonds hit his 755th homer to tie Hank Aaron as the all-time leader in that category. Bonds belted his opposite-field homer off Clay Hensley of the Padres at PETCO Park in San Diego. Ironically, Hensley had been suspended for steroid use in 2005. In a move of pure class Hank Aaron video taped a message to Bonds.
August 4, 2007, Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez hit his 500th homer, becoming the 22nd player to reach the milestone. At 32 years, eight days, Rodriguez is the youngest to reach the 500-mark. The homer came against Kansas City's Kyle Davies at Yankee Stadium.
