The number seven fifty five is gone which lived a long good noble life of 30 years. It was spawned from the powerful bat of an aging slugger named Hank Aaron on July 20,1976. It was occasionally challenged but was never beaten till a cool evening in August in San Francisco Bay. The record of 755 finally perished at the hands of a relentless, most of the time controversial player from the west named Barry Lamar Bonds. Tuesday night PDT 8:51 PM when Barry swinged a 3-2 pitch from Washington Nationals Mike Backsic driving the ball in right-center field in the fifth inning, giving him his 756 career home runs. There was a sell out crowd at the stadium with mostly documenting the bright moment. Flashes of camera and video shots from the crowd, Bonds hitting the ball immediately dropped his bat and raised both his arms in the air as he watched the ball fly with the crowd exploding in unambiguous ecstasy and the game stopping for some minutes.

Bonds circled the bases accompanied by fireworks over the San Francisco Bay and with pointed hands in the sky as he touched home plate. He hugged his teammates with his family brought in the field to wish him of what has been the beginning of a new record to beat in Major League Baseball. Then a surprise for everyone in a stunning twist of the moment when Hank Aaron showed himself in the big screen to congratulate Barry of the record breaking homerun. The tribute left an indication that with no doubt Aaron has given Bond’s record his support and unqualified endorsement. Only 3 players in the Major League and in the last 86 years has held this feat. Babe Ruth first captured the record and surrendered it posthumously to Hank Aaron in 1974 and now it belongs to Barry Bonds.

Summer is almost over and we have not yet spent our time vacationing. Plans have been made already and hopefully we could accommodate ourselves. The hectic work schedule had prevented us for our usual summer get away. The children are ok though spending time with friends and in the local community pool and recreation facility in Piney Orchard. There is a tentative schedule that we planned at the end of August but we still have to confirm it at the second quarter of this month. We have viewed some destinations but decided we would spend it if we can with my wife’s friends’ in Chicago and we used a Chicago Travel Guide to view what’s there in store for us. We also tried to see some nice places to stay but most are booked and quite expensive for this time. So I have found out this new site of Travel Accommodation that surely would be of handy now and the future days to come if we decide on going to any destination as it has a lot of useful resources as I can say.

Hopefully our plans should be definitely decided by August 15. If all are well we would be spending our week long vacation at the Windy City with friends and family. The children are already excited about the plans and they might be skipping a few days off from school since that will be the start of classes this year here at Odenton.

Playing arcade games is fun and EOGaming provides you your daily dosage of games. The website is easy to navigate and games are well organized. The site currently includes a hundred games and caters to every genre. EOGaming doesn’t force you to register although it is advisable to register in order to get your scores listed. The site clearly believes in its content as it does not use too many flash banners to catch attention. The only thing I would like to change is move the player stats as well as the most popular games menu to the right hand side as the right half of the page looks empty. The site load times are fantastic and ensures no slowdowns for gamers. Clearly EOGaming.com is the best way to enjoy online gaming. I would rate it 4 stars out of 5.
