Doug Ose: “I have to say, I do not know where the gentlewoman was when he hit number 71, but it was against the Los Angeles…”

“I have to say, I do not know where the gentlewoman was when he hit number 71, but it was against the Los Angeles Dodgers. I just want to get that in the Record. When he turned on that fast ball, imagine the audacity on number 71. It was the ninth inning and the Dodgers had some rookie in pitching, a little right-handed pitcher. He was throwing heat. Bonds was up and the game was basically over. This guy kept bringing the heat, and he would pitch one and it got by Bonds on strike one, and I think on strike two, I think Bonds actually turned to the catcher and said, ``You just put that ball there one more time.'' And the pitcher brought the fast ball again, and Bonds turned on, and there was never any doubt. I have to tell the Members, all over San Francisco and in northern California, Mr. Speaker, people jumped to their feet and said ``Yes, we broke the record against the Dodgers; life is good, congratulations, Barry Bonds; and we won the game.''”
