Barry Bonds was a Brave for one night, according to Atlanta GM John Schuerholz in his new book, "Built To Win".

     Bonds would've already broken Aaron's record if he played some years at Fulton Co. Stadium (AKA- The Launching Pad).  John Schuerholz had a trade all set up sending reliever Alejandro Pena, outfielder Keith Mitchell, and a future prospect to Pittsburgh for Barry.  Schuerholz backed out of the deal the next day because Pirate Manager Jim Leyland was furious that Bonds was being traded with a year left on his contract.  The next year, Ba-Bo went on to play for the team with the Halloween costumes and the rest is in juiced up history.
