      MLB Stars Bought 'Roids From Fla. Clinic

      Three more baseball players, including outfielder Jose Guillen and retired third baseman Matt Williams, have been named as buying steroids from a Florida anti-aging clinic that has since been raided for suspected illegal drug sales, the San Francisco Chronicle reports, citing records. Prescriptions at the clinic were written by a local dentist whose license was eventually revoked, but the athletes have not admitted wrongdoing. More »

      Bonds: It's Ball* or Me* in HOF

      Barry Bonds won't show up for his own induction if the Baseball Hall of Fame exhibits his record-breaking No. 756 ball with an asterisk, he said in a TV interview last night. "There's no such thing as an asterisk in baseball," the slugger complained, arguing that people shouldn't be allowed to "alter history." More »

      Barry's Heart is in San Francisco

      He sounded like a man who wanted to stay. At a tribute to the former San Francisco slugger, Barry Bonds was read a list of his baseball accomplishments and then asked if he'd actually achieved all those marks. His response? "I did and then I got fired," a reference to not getting a contract offer, reports the AP. More »

      Bonds Bids Farewell to Giant Ovations

      It was the end of an era last night in San Francisco as super slugger Barry Bonds played his last game in a Giants uniform. The all-time home run king finished the night 0-3, but that didn't stop a sold-out crowd from giving him standing ovations throughout the evening. There were few other opportunities for cheers, as Bonds' last-place team struggled through another lopsided defeat. More »

      Designer and prankster Marc Ecko successfully bid over $750,000 for Barry Bonds' record-breaking home-run ball. Now he's ready to get rid of it, and told Today 's Matt Lauer that America will decide how: donate it to the Baseball Hall of Fame, give it to the Hall of Fame with an asterisk burnt into it, or launch it into space.

      Bonds' #756 Ball Fetches $752K

      Barry Bonds beat expectations again, as his record-breaking ball sold for well above industry estimates. Bonds’ 756th homerun ball netted $752,467, while the ball that helped him tie Hank Aaron’s career record sold for $186,750. Some naysayers thought Bonds’ steroid scandal and sharp personality would dampen demand, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. More »

      Bonds Plans to Check Out After 2008 Season

      Baseball's controversial new home run king will likely pack it in after the 2008 season. Barry Bonds, who passed Hank Aaron's mark of 755 career home runs last week, said he hopes to keep slugging only one more year and try to reach his remaining goals--3,000 hits and a World Series ring. "I don't think two years I can take," he confessed. More »

      Bonds Breaks Record Again

      Barry Bonds broke the home run record again last night -- and this time it was his. Bonds hit #757 in last night's 5-0 win over the Nationals to a notable lack of pomp, though it could have been that the celebration was reserved for manager Bruce Bochy's 1,000th win. More »

      Bush Gets a Line on Bonds

      Barry Bonds took 21 years to set the career home run record, so the half-day delay in President Bush's congratulatory phone call probably seems like the blink of an eye. The call went out from the White House this afternoon, the Chicago Tribune reports, and Tony Snow attributed the delay to conflicting sleep schedules. More »

      Bonds Hits No. 755, Ties Aaron

      Barry Bonds hit his 755th career home run tonight in San Diego, tying all-time leader Henry Aaron with a 382-foot clout off instant historical footnote Clay Hensley. Camera flashes sparkled and the fans rose to their feet as the 43-year-old slugger circled the bases and then hugged his son Nikolai, a Giants batboy, after crossing the plate. More »

      Mitts Ready, Fans Hope to Cash in on Record Homer

      With San Francisco slugger Barry Bonds one homer away from Hank Aaron's record, fans are flocking to games less to watch the action than for a chance at reeling in a mighty valuable baseball. Homer No. 755 could sell for up to $50,000, the LA Times reports, and record-breaking No. 766 may be worth a half a million. More »

      Cellar-Dwelling Pirates Trade for Morris

      Despite a record that was 19 games (now 20) below .500 and put them 13.5 behind the division-leading Brewers, the Pirates used the day of the trading deadline to buy rather than sell—the kind of contender's move they haven't made since 1997. Pittsburgh traded outfield prospect Rajai Davis for grizzled righty Matt Morris. More »

      Bonds to Chase Slug Record in Enemy Territory

      After missing his seven-game opportunity to break Hank Aaron's home run record in the land of his biggest fans, slugger Barry Bonds has left San Francisco for a three-game series in LA. "It's going to be chaotic," said pitcher Steve Kline, anticipating a less-than-sympathetic reception for Bonds from rival Giants' fans. More »

      Bonds Moves Within 1

      Barry Bonds moved within one home run of Hank Aaron in the first inning last night in San Francisco, smacking his 20th round-tripper of the season and running his career total to 754. The slugger pumped his fist as he rounded the bases, and the Marlins then walked him four times as the Giants recorded a 12-10 victory. More »

      'Midget-Man' Costas Unfazed by Bonds' Dig

      Broadcaster Bob Costas insists he's not insulted that slugger Barry Bonds called him "a little midget man who knows [nothing] about baseball," AP reports. The dig came after an installment of HBO's "Costas Now," in which the broadcaster weighed in on Bonds' reputed steroid use. "I'm 5-foot-6½ and a strapping 150, and unlike some people, I came by all of it naturally," he said. More »

      After playing all 13 innings of a loss to Atlanta on Tuesday, Barry Bonds sat out last night's match-up at his home park in San Francisco to rest up. "He's just getting a day," said the team manager, insisting that the 43-year-old slugger still aims to crack Hank Aaron's home run record during this seven-game homestand. More »

      Just two blasts shy of Hank Aaron's all-time record, slugger Barry Bonds has a chance to become the new home run king in his own backyard. But Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig has vowed not to attend Bonds' seven-game homestand in San Francisco that began last night—nor take part in his imminent coronation ceremony. More »

      San Francisco slugger Barry Bonds knocked two balls out of Wrigley Field today, bringing him two away from tying homer-leader Hank Aaron at 755. Driving in six runs, the pair ended an 0-for-21 slump and saved Bonds from matching his career-worst hitless streak. Following a familiar script, the Giants lost to the Cubs despite their star's big day. More »

      MLB Commissioner Bud Selig will be in the stands for slugger Barry Bonds's imminent coronation as all-time home run king, Sports Illustrated reports. It had been widely rumored that the commish might snub Bonds, who's now only four shy of Hank Aaron's 755 career record, in part because of the Giant's alleged steroid use. More »
