Bonds gets #748

What first appeared to be a routine pop-up to right field turned out to be home run number 748 for Barry Bonds.

While the Giants' slugger has been booed in every at-bat at Fenway this weekend, there was still a sizable contingent that was happy to be part of his march to history -- initially when the ball went over the wall to the Giants' bullpen, there were cheers, though after a few seconds boos were heard again.

Fenway is the 36th different ballpark Bonds has homered in and Tim Wakefield becomes the 441st different pitcher to surrender a homer to Bonds, a major league record. Boston's Curt Schilling is tied with three other pitchers for most HRs given up by one pitcher to Bonds, with eight.
