Pedro Gomez Takes Leak; Misses Historic Home Run

In an ironic twist of fate ESPN's Pedro Gomez, who has been shadowing Barry Bonds for the last two seasons, was not a witness to the historic event. Said Gomez, "I had a beer and a brat before the game just like I always do. Nature called and I left to hit the head. Because of the sellout crowd the lines were unusually long. Right about the time I was washing my hands you could hear a thunderous cheer. I knew at that point that something big must have happened." Asked if he was disappointed to miss the record-breaking shot Gomez remarked. "Yeah, it's a bummer, but I'm just glad to get my life back." With the homerun record now eclipsed, life goes on for the bilingual reporter. According to Gomez he will no longer be trailing Bonds and has been reassigned to the Chicago Cubs World Championship watch.
