The San Francisco slugger was two home runs from tying Hank Aaron's career mark of 755 today, the 31st anniversary of the Hammer's final career shot — and Selig said he plans to attend all three of the Giants' upcoming games in Milwaukee unless Bonds is not in the Giants' starting lineup.

"It's here, and I felt that it was the right thing for the commissioner to do," Selig said.

The Giants opened their three-game weekend series against the Brewers at Miller Park today, a short drive from the commissioner's downtown office.

Bonds is in the lineup for today's game. He will likely sit out tomorrow afternoon's contest following a night game and play on Sunday.

The Selig family relinquished control of the Brewers before the 2005 season when Los Angeles-based investor Mark Attanasio became the principal owner of the ballclub in a $223 million deal. But Selig still has a luxury box at Miller Park and was present during the Giants' last visit to the ballpark in June.

Until today, Selig hadn't said publicly whether he planned to be in the stands as Bonds approached the 33-year-old record belonging to Aaron, a close friend of the commissioner who began and ended his career in Milwaukee. Selig and Aaron spoke by telephone today.

Bonds hit two homers yesterday against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, saying afterward that it wouldn't make any difference if he tied or broke the record in the city where Aaron hit the majority of his homers.
