Barry Bonds was ready to make history. Juan Pierre made him wait a little longer.
Pierre's leaping catch against the wall in center robbed Bonds of home run No. 714, and the San Francisco slugger remained one shy of tying Babe Ruth for second place after the Giants' 6-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night.
"I know I ruined about 40,000 people's nights tonight," Pierre said.
Bonds, who had the night off for Monday's makeup game with Houston, went 1-for-4 with a single two nights after hitting 713 with a 450-foot shot in Philadelphia. He drew a five-pitch walk in the first, flied out to center leading off the fourth, then watched Pierre's catch in the fifth before singling in the seventh.
He left the ballpark without talking to reporters and was hugged from behind by 7-year-old daughter Aisha outside the clubhouse as he made his way out. His entourage included Sacramento Kings' owner Gavin Maloof the same day his NBA team fired coach Rick Adelman.
Pierre went against the wall to snag Bonds' long line drive seemingly destined for the other side of the center-field fence.
