Yeah, we missed it. Yesterday was the 17th anniversary of Bonds hitting his 69th home run of the 2001 season. It was really nice.

The main reason why I’m burning a post on these two anniversaries that aren’t even round number anniversaries is to get to this third Bonds highlight that isn’t quite as spectacular as a home run, but is significant nonetheless because of its implications for this present team.
