ALL-TIME HOME RUNS Bonds catches Mays; Ruth is next on chart

Barry Bonds hit No. 660 into McCovey Cove outside SBC Park.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Matching his godfather and the man he admired since he first picked up a bat isn't enough for Barry Bonds.
He has his sights on two more baseball immortals.
Bonds hit his 660th home run Monday to tie Willie Mays for third place on the career list, leaving only Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron ahead of him.
"Willie wants me to keep on going. I'll keep on going," Bonds said.
Bonds' towering three-run shot in the fifth inning splashed into McCovey Cove and sent the Giants to a 7-5 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. It was the 28th time Bonds has homered into the water.
Aaron leads the all-time list with 755 home runs, followed by Ruth with 714.
Reaction
The 39-year-old Bonds was greeted at home by several teammates and he stepped on the plate, raised both hands in the air and pointed to the sky.
Mays, who turns 73 next month, hurried to congratulate Bonds, giving his godson a hug and a kiss outside the dugout. Mays presented him with a torch decorated with 25 tiny diamonds, symbolic of the number Bonds wears. They both carried the torch before the 2002 Olympics.
Bonds came back out of the dugout and waved to the fans in each direction as they cheered, "Barry! Barry!" and gave him a standing ovation. The sellout crowd of 42,548 seemed to forget about the steroid controversy surrounding the slugger.
"The fans appreciate a good baseball player," manager Felipe Alou said. "I know some guys were booing, but they love the guy."
Children along the left-field wall bowed to Bonds when he came out to play the field in the top of the sixth. A banner of Bonds was unfurled from the light tower to the left side of the main center-field scoreboard to match one of Mays on the other side.
"I think this is probably the icing on the cake," Bonds said. "I really wish my dad could have been here to be part of it.
"I just really can't believe it, being 4 years old when my dad came up into the major leagues and having an idol like Willie Mays take me under his wing, and now being up in front of all of you people answering questions what it's like to tie the man you respected and honored your entire life."
Father figure
Mays has become even more of a mentor to Bonds since the slugger's father, Bobby, died last August.
Mays hit his 660th on Aug. 17, 1973, as a member of the New York Mets at Shea Stadium off Cincinnati's Don Gullett.
"I don't even recall that. That's many years ago," said Mays, who preferred to focus on Bonds' accomplishment. "I wanted him to get it over with. No. 1, I felt like he was pressing. When Barry swings hard, nothing happens. Today, he made an easy, compact swing and it goes a long way."
Bonds, who set the single-season homer record with 73 in 2001, went five games without a homer after hitting his first on opening day at Houston last Monday.
"Maybe I'm just too stupid to walk him every time," Brewers manager Ned Yost said. "I'd venture to say there's not another player on this planet better than Barry Bonds."
When Matt Kinney (0-1) saw Bonds' ball go over the fence, the pitcher walked backward off the mound and onto the grass, trying to ignore the slugger's historic home-run trot.
"When I saw him swing, I knew it wasn't a good thing," Kinney said.
