Everybody standing here at 24 Willie Mays Plaza. An armada of nautical craft gathered in McCovey Cove beyond the right field wall. Bonds one home run away from history. (crack of the bat) and he swings, and there's a long one into right center field, way back there, it's gone! A home run! Into the center field bleachers to the left of the 421 foot marker. An extraordinary shot to the deepest part of the yard! And Barry Bonds with 756 home runs, he has hit more home runs than anyone who has ever played the game!''}} On July 16, 2010, the Giants organization, including fellow broadcaster [[Dave Flemming]], honored Miller at [[AT&T Park]] in a pregame ceremony about one week before Miller received the [[Ford C.
