      Bonds Sticks to 'Not Guilty'

      (Newser) - Baseball legend Barry Bonds pleaded "not guilty" today to four counts of perjury and an obstruction of justice in US District Court, the AP reports.

      Bonds to Make First Court Appearance

      (Newser) - Barry Bonds is set to appear in federal court today to face charges of perjury for allegedly lying under oath about knowingly taking steroids. Because the brief hearing at the Federal Building in San Francisco will be Bonds' first public appearance following his indictment, it's expected to draw hundreds of journalists. To minimize disruption, two judges will be brought to Bonds, rather than having the slugger appear in two different courtrooms. More »

    • Charges Against Bonds 'Absurd'

      New York Sun  |  Nov 16, 07 9:41 PM CST

      Charges Against Bonds 'Absurd'

      (Newser) - Barry Bonds undoubtedly lied through his teeth when he denied all things steroid in front of a grand jury, writes New York Sun columnist Tim Marchman, but the charges against him are nevertheless "absurd." The case hinges on proving that Bonds knowingly took the drugs and talked about it with trainer Greg Anderson. With both denying the charges, argues Marchman, that will be next to impossible to prove. More »

      (Newser) - 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

      (Newser) - 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 »

      Bonds' 756 Ball Headed to Hall*

      (Newser) - Barry Bonds’ record-breaking 756th home run ball will be branded with the asterisk many fans think his record deserves. Fans decided the ball's fate after fashion designer Marc Ecko bought the ball for $752,467, and put it up for vote. The asterisk won out over sending the ball to the Hall of Fame unmarked or launching it into outer space, the AP reports. More »

      Bonds Plans to Check Out After 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

      (Newser) - 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 »

      (Newser) - 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 »

      (Newser) - Barry Bonds' 756th career homer had barely landed in the AT&T Park bleachers last night when the vitriol swirling around his pursuit of Henry Aaron's record began flowing in earnest.

      (Newser) - Barry Bonds became Major League Baseball's all-time leading home run hitter last night, brushing aside Hank Aaron's vaunted record with a 435-foot solo shot to right center in the bottom of the 5th. Bonds 756th came off a 3-2 pitch from Nats starter Mike Bacsik—whose father denied Aaron his 756th home run in 1976. More »
