BARRY BONDS / At the Ballpark / Show Barry Bonds a record, and he'll smash it just as / easily as he smashes homers out of the park. The San Francisco / Giants left fielder is well on his way to tying Willie Mays at / third place on the list of all-time highest home run hitters-- / behind only Baby Ruth and Hank Aaron. In October 2001, / Bonds surpassed Mark McGwire's single-season home run / record of 70-but he didn't stop there. He finished the season / with 73 home runs. Just how far he will go--on the field and / in the record books--is yet to be seen. / Look for the Keepsake Ornament featuring Willie Mays at / your Hallmark retailer this year. / Dill Rhodus / Hallmark Keepsake Artist / HOLIDAY / MEMORY CARD / ENCLOSED / Ninth in the Series. / Look for 9 on this ornament. / For decorative use only.
