Thanks Barry

10 hometown memories

Big Barry Bonds moments at Candlestick and China Basin:

April 12, 1993 - Homers in first home at-bat with Giants, before crowd of 56,689.

Sept. 27, 1997 - Climbs on dugout at Candlestick to lead cheers after Giants clinch NL West.

Oct. 5, 2001 - Hits 71st and 72nd homers to break single-season record.

Oct. 24, 2002 - In Game 5 of World Series, goes 3-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, a walk and RBI as Giants blow out Angels 16-4 for 3-games-to-2 lead.

June 23, 2003 - In 11th inning of 2-2 game against Dodgers, draws leadoff walk, steals second and then scores the winning run. It was his 500th career steal and made him baseball's first (and still only) 500-500 man.
