Last night, Barry Bonds did it before hometown fans, breaking Hank Aaron's long-standing record of 755 career home runs. Today's San Francisco Chronicle reports that the Giants' slugger achieved his record despite distractions and pressures. His personal trainer sits in prison for refusing to testify against him, Major League Baseball has a legal team investigating suspected steroid use, and a federal grand jury has targeted Bonds in a perjury probe. Chronicle sports columnist Scott Ostler has more on the record holder and his troubles.
