Regular season
Season summary
Barry Bonds of the Giants pursued his quest toward Hank Aaron's all-time mark of 755 home runs. Bonds finished the season with 734 career home runs, 21 short of tying Aaron's mark. On June 3, 2006, Eliezer Alfonzo made his big league debut. In his debut, his name was misspelled on his jersey (it should have ended in "zo", not "so"). Alfonzo hit a two-run shot in the sixth inning that ultimately won the game against the Mets. The following day, the jersey was still misspelled.http://www.sikids.com/photos/21399/mlbs-misspelled-uniforms/5 MLB's Misspelled Uniforms - ALFONSO Sports Illustrated Kids 2014-01-12 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20131110144829/http://www.sikids.com/photos/21399/mlbs-misspelled-uniforms/5 November 10, 2013 mdy The Giants finished 76-85, 11½ games behind the division winner, the San Diego Padres, and also 11½ games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers.
