Bonds not looking ahead

? So, what’s next for Barry Bonds? He doesn’t even want to think about it. Not yet, anyway.

Bonds was so busy passing his godfather in his climb up the home-run list, he didn’t ponder what might happen once he accomplished the feat.

With his seemingly effortless swing and powerful 39-year-old body still going strong, anything appears possible for the San Francisco slugger.

“I’m not going to try to figure out what’s next,” said Bonds, who homered on consecutive days to reach No. 661 and pass Willie Mays for third place. “I’m just trying to stay healthy and win a championship.”

Babe Ruth (714) and Hank Aaron (755) still loom in Bonds’ path, of course. But first, Bonds wants to enjoy his latest historic homer.

After all of his accomplishments, he believes he’s finally earned the admiration of his godfather.

“Barry doesn’t need approval from me, because I’ve been there since he was 5,” said Mays, a teammate of Bonds’ late father, Bobby. “Whatever he does, right or wrong, I’m going to be there for him. … Barry knows how much I love him.”

Bonds has won a record six NL MVP awards and set the single-season home run record with 73 in 2001, but he may never consider his career complete without a World Series ring.

He fell six outs short of the title in 2002 and came back the next spring proclaiming his determination to give the Giants another chance to win it all.

He reiterated that sentiment Monday after splashing home run No. 660 into McCovey Cove to tie Mays. His solo shot Tuesday landed in nearly the same place — and was recovered by the same fan — in the water over the right-field fence.

“A championship. That’s it,” Bonds said. “I don’t have any personal goals.”
