Imagine, hypothetically, that you were the one to catch Barry Bonds' 756th home run ball.

first inning solo shot in a Giants 12-10 win over the Marlins last night-- leaving him just one shy of tying Hank Aaron's record. Bonds blasted Rick Vanden Hurk's 2-1 changeup over the outfield fence just to the right of the 404 marker in left-center. Bonds knew it was gone immediately, and gave a little fist pump as he rounded the bases. I

OK, here we go ... Dontrelle Willis is all that stands between Barry Bonds and his sleepover with history (9 p.m. EST, ESPN). Does Hank's record fall tonight? Will Dontrelle toss a couple fat ones? (Remember: He does idolize him!) And what about Bud? Will he call the game a 0-0 tie after the first pitch? Oh, man, I'm dewy with anticipation! Let's
