SAN FRANCISCO, CA, April 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Love him or hate him, the question isn't IF Barry Bonds will pass Babe Ruth on baseball's all time home run list but WHEN. Sportsbook.com, the world's largest online sportsbook and casino, is offering fans a chance to bet on the exact date the landmark homer will be launched.
"Everybody loves to bet on baseball and to weigh in on the big issues and stories of the day, and there's no bigger story right now than Bonds' assault on the home run record," said Alex Czajkowski, Sportsbook.com. "There's no sitting on the fence when it comes to Bonds. People either think he's a great player and deserves to break the record or they think he's a cheater and want him suspended from the sport, there's no middle ground."
Bonds currently has 708 homers and has indicated he will retire at the end of this season regardless of where he sits in relation to Hank Aaron's record of 755. While there's no guarantee Bonds will catch Hank Aaron at the top of the list, Babe Ruth's 714 mark is certainly within striking distance. Bonds needs seven more home runs to surpass the Sultan of Swat and odds makers believe the likeliest date that would happen would be between May 16 and May 23. Odds on the Bonds passing the Babe during that time period are 12-1.
During this span, the Giants will visit the Houston Astros and the Oakland Athletics in what could prove to be a monumental series between the two Bay area teams, and are home to the St. Louis Cardinals.
Sportsbook.com is also offering odds on whether the historic home run will be hit at home or on the road and odds on how many total home runs he will hit this season.
