<P> On September 22, Bonds tied Henry Aaron's National League career home run record of 733 . The home run came in the top of the 6th inning of a high - scoring game against the Milwaukee Brewers, at Miller Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin . The achievement was notable for its occurrence in the very city where Aaron began (with the Milwaukee Braves) and concluded (with the Brewers, then in the American League) his career . With the Giants trailing 10--8, Bonds hit a blast to deep center field on a 2--0 pitch off the Brewers' Chris Spurling with runners on first and second and one out . Though the Giants were at the time clinging to only a slim chance of making the playoffs, Bonds's home run provided the additional drama of giving the Giants an 11--10 lead late in a critical game in the final days of a pennant race . The Brewers eventually won the game, 13--12, though Bonds went 3 for 5, with 2 doubles, the record - tying home run, and 6 runs batted in . </P> <P> On September 23, Bonds surpassed Aaron for the NL career home run record . Hit in Milwaukee like the previous one, this was a solo home run off Chris Capuano of the Brewers . This was the last home run Bonds hit in 2006 . In 2006, Bonds recorded his lowest slugging percentage (a statistic that he has historically ranked among league leaders season after season) since 1991 with the Pittsburgh Pirates . </P> <P> In January 2007, the New York Daily News reported that Bonds had tested positive for amphetamines . Under baseball's amphetamine policy, which had been in effect for one season, players testing positive were to submit to six additional tests and undergo treatment and counseling . The policy also stated that players were not to be identified for a first positive test, but the New York Daily News leaked the test's results . When the Players Association informed Bonds of the test results, he initially attributed it to a substance he had taken from the locker of Giants teammate Mark Sweeney, but would later retract this claim and publicly apologize to Sweeney . </P> <P> On January 29, 2007, the Giants finalized a contract with Bonds for the 2007 season . After the commissioner's office rejected Bonds's one - year, $15.8 million deal because it contained a personal - appearance provision, the team sent revised documents to his agent, Jeff Borris, who stated that "At this time, Barry is not signing the new documents ." Bonds signed a revised one - year, $15.8 million contract on February 15 and reported to the Giants' Spring training camp on time . </P>
