SF City Hall to be decked out as Bonds nears record
Thursday, July 19, 2007
(07-19) 22:14 PDT -- Orange lights will illuminate San Francisco City Hall, starting Friday night, and a special flag will hang from the balcony of the mayor's office as Giants slugger Barry Bonds gets closer to the all-time home run record, it was announced on Thursday.
The balcony flag will track the number of Bonds' career homers, currently 753. A number will be added for each additional homer as Bonds tries to tie and surpass Hank Aaron's record of 755.
"I think I speak for all San Franciscans when I say, 'Go Barry,' " Mayor Gavin Newsom said.
On Thursday in Chicago, Bonds hit the 752nd and 753rd home runs of his career.
