On the following day, September 23, 2006, Bonds surpassed Aaron for the NL career home run record.

During the news conference, Aaron, who with 755 career homers is the only man to top Ruth's 714, predicted that Bonds, now at 681, would eventually surpass his mark.

My guess is that Bonds will surpass Mays in San Francisco against Milwaukee on Monday.

Only three years later Bonds surpassed the great Hank Aaron to become baseball's most prolific home run hitter.

Although Bonds could surpass Ruth, he draws mixed responses because of the accusations that he used steroids.

If the season goes beyond Aug. 30, Bonds should surpass Ruth's three-season total.

Bonds between segments surpassed bonds within the whole group.

It is also generally agreed that no Bond could surpass Sean Connery, who owned the franchise in its first decade.

Bonds, with 658 career home runs, could surpass Hank Aaron's all-time total of 755 in just two or three more seasons.

But those feats resulted from cumulative performances over a career, just as Bonds will surpass Aaron because of career achievements.
