Barry Bonds Passes Babe Ruth With 715th Home Run

SAN FRANCISCO, May 28 — George Herman Ruth still leads Barry Lamar Bonds in catchy nicknames. Ruth was the Babe or the Bambino, or the Sultan of Swat. He was a Yankee legend. Bonds is still just Barry, the veteran slugger of the San Francisco Giants.

Barry Bonds leaving the batter's box Sunday after hitting his 715th homer, off the Rockies' Byung Hyun Kim.

But Bonds is ahead of Ruth in a more important category — home runs. In the bright sunshine alongside San Francisco Bay on Sunday afternoon, Bonds hit a ball over the center-field fence at AT&T Park against the Colorado Rockies right-hander Byung Hyun Kim for the 715th home run of his 21-year major league career.
