Impressive Baseball Note

On Monday night, in Barry Bonds's first game back in the lineup, Rudy Saenez of the Padres became the first pitcher to have Bonds swing and miss three pitches in a single at bat in five years. Five years. How amazing is that? I'd have trouble trying to make a similar string of five at bats. Since it last happened, Bonds walked 660 times. [Okay, looking at the numbers, it looks like the last time he did it was towards the start of the 2001 season, so, technically, more like 4 1/2 years, but still.]
