The Wife™ and I found out that we both have Labor Day off, so we're going to spend a nice 2 or 3 day weekend in Denver. One of the main reasons for picking Denver, is simply for the fact that neither one of us has ever been to Coors Field.

After scouting out the Rockies schedule for the rest of the year, I was amazed to see that the Giants (a team in their division) only comes to Denver one more time this season. I figured it would be pretty cool to tell people that I've seen the player with the most home runs in baseball history (*note how I didn't say the greatest home run hitter of all time).

Doing a little stat breakdown, I'm going to need some help if we want a chance to see some baseball history:

As of this post, the Giants have played 76 games and Barry has appeared in 70 of them (92%). Out of those 70 games, he's managed to hit 15 balls over the yellow line that tops the outfield fences (21% of games he's played in, he's homered).

There are 62 more games until they play at Coors on Labor Day, meaning that Bonds, on average, will play in 57 of these games. Out of these 57 games, he's on pace to hit 12 more home runs.

Here in lies the problem. Bonds is currently sitting on 749 career home runs. That's just 6 behind The Hammer.

With this, I'm going to need the home run/games played percentage to be cut in half if we would want the slightest chance of watching history of either 755 or 756 flying out at Coors.

If somehow the pace can get cut, the percentages will definitely jump playing at altitude, even with those damn humidifier balls.

So here's a message to all of you opposing pitchers: Keep the ball down in the zone, don't worry about walking him (he's got so many I don't think baseball is keeping track any more), and if you're going to hit him, plunk him in a spot that will keep him off the DL (at least in early September).
