Did Barry Bonds hit a home run today?
It would appear that he did. Just one though.
June 10, 2003: Against the Chicago White Sox, Bonds hit a 2-run home run in the 4th inning off of John Garland, scoring Ray Durham. It gave the Giants a 2-0 lead, but they would lose 5-3. It was his 16th homer of the year.
