Giants in process of replacing missing plaque commemorating Barry Bonds’ record 756th home run

SAN FRANCISCO – The commemorative plaque honouring home run king Barry Bonds’ record 756th clout has gone missing from AT&T Park.

San Francisco Giants spokeswoman Staci Slaughter says the club is in the process of replacing the plaque that hung on the brick facade inside the ballpark beneath the flag court area in right-centre field until a few days ago. The team is reviewing video in an effort to determine what might have happened, Slaughter says, but hasn’t solved anything yet.

Bonds, the seven-time NL MVP, broke Hank Aaron’s home run record on Aug. 7, 2007, at home in San Francisco. The slugger hasn’t played since that season, finishing his 22-year major league career with 762 career homers.
