ATLANTA (AP) — Hank Aaron might talk to Barry Bonds about the new home run record.

"Eventually, if I happen to see him somewhere, I'd probably say something to him," Aaron was quoted as saying on the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Web site Thursday night. "To be honest, I'm as happy for him as anybody."

Aaron was asleep at his home in Atlanta when Bonds hit his 756th home run Tuesday night.

"It was 1 o'clock in the morning," Aaron told the newspaper. "Heck, I'm not going to sit up and watch a baseball game."

Aaron previously recorded a video congratulating Bonds, and it was played at AT&T Park in San Francisco.
