This ain't peanuts: Fan waiting for beer gets No. 715 ball By JUSTIN M. NORTON, Associated Press Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A fan waiting in line for beer and peanuts got something extra at the concession stand: home run ball No. 715 by Barry Bonds.
Andrew Morbitzer was waiting his turn to stock up on a couple of beers Sunday when the souvenir of a lifetime plopped into his hand.
"I got to be a small part of a big day," Morbitzer said after the game with his wife, Megan, at his side. He already was wearing a "Bonds 715" T-shirt.
For several moments, Bonds' milestone ball appeared to be beyond anyone's reach. It sat lodged on an elevated platform in center field, then trickled off the roof.
Morbitzer, a 38-year-old San Francisco marketing director, caught the ball and was quickly ushered away by security for a postgame news conference after the Giants' 6-3 loss to Colorado.
A professed Giants and Barry Bonds fan, Morbitzer only recently relocated from Colorado. He hasn't decided what he will do with the ball, and hadn't received any offers by the end of the game.
"Yet to be determined," he said. "Hold it tightly in my hands for a little while."
Morbitzer said he went to get a few more beers because he couldn't see who would be up next in the bleachers.
"We both finished our beers and decided it was a good time to get a beer refill," he said.
He then heard the crowd roar and saw people reaching in the air before catching the ball with one hand.
"I snagged it," he said.
His wife said she wondered what was taking him so long.
"He was waiting in line for my peanuts," she said.
Even Bonds had heard of the once-in-a-lifetime catch.
"It dropped right at him -- that's all I heard," he said.
Giants fans had been waiting for weeks for Bonds to hit his 715th homer and pass Babe Ruth for second place on the career list. Overjoyed fans jumped from their seats and streamers were shot from the stadium as Bonds made his way around the bases and into the history books.
Fans waited for Bonds after the game and chanted "Barry! Barry!" as he headed for interviews.
"I was psyched. I've been waiting for this to happen for a long time," said Jesse Weber, who has been to every Giants home game this season. "When I walked into the stadium I knew it was going to happen today."
Giants were frustrated that Bonds tied Ruth's mark across the Bay in Oakland last weekend. But on the day before the Giants left for a road trip, Bonds connected at home -- leaving him behind only Hank Aaron's 755.
Weber said he didn't think the achievement was sullied by the steroid accusations that have surrounded Bonds, but worried that "a lot of people think they will need some kind of enhancer to be great player."
Frank Huysmans was watching the game with his 7-year-old son, Jeroem, who was wearing a Bonds jersey and a cap. Both said they weren't surprised to see Bonds hit the big home run.
"He's Barry Bonds and he's confident, and he's always going to do what he needs to do," Huysmans said.
Season ticket holder Annie Reynolds said she knew Bonds' historic homer was headed over the fence when she heard the crack of the bat. She only wished she'd brought her camera.
"Of course, I left it on the table," she said.

No Bonds no home runs once again. Makes u wonder why the home runs arent coming so frequently any more. Might need the juice. I just dont think its because of his body. I wills till concider him innocent until found guilty. but if he did abuse his body with the juice..........his body will start to break down after a while. oh well. no skin off my back

Bonds tweaks his left side By JANIE McCAULEY, AP Sports Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Barry Bonds tweaked his left side during last weekend's series in New York, though the San Francisco slugger initially tried to play through it.
The injury has become worse in recent days, and Bonds grimaced after a swing during Tuesday night's 2-1 win over the Florida Marlins.
He was already scheduled for a day off Wednesday for the finale of a three-game series with the Marlins, but now his status for a four-game series against his former club -- the Pittsburgh Pirates -- starting Thursday night was in question.
Bonds was examined by team doctors Robert Murray and Ken Akizuki late Tuesday, and trainer Stan Conte listed the slugger as day to day.
"I hope this is not a serious problem," Giants manager Felipe Alou said.
Bonds went 0-for-4 with a strikeout one night after hitting his 716th career home run to move within 40 of passing home run king Hank Aaron's 755.
"I don't know yet," Bonds said when asked about the severity of his injury. "I was hurt from the second inning (Tuesday). I played because I didn't want to come out. ... I'm only concerned if somebody's putting me in a coffin."
Bonds, who turns 42 on July 24, said he didn't tell the team's training staff about his sore side until Wednesday morning when he arrived at the ballpark -- so he wasn't sure how the injury would be treated.
"I felt the pain in New York but I didn't think about it then," Bonds said. "It just got worse and worse. ... I'm just sore, not too bad. It got worse and my back started hurting again. My back is not as tight today."
Bonds hit his 715th homer May 28 against Colorado to pass Babe Ruth and move into sole possession of second place on the career list behind Aaron.
The seven-time NL MVP was limited to 14 games in 2005 following three operations on his troublesome right knee.
