REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP)—The 20-year-old son of former San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds(notes) has pleaded not guilty to five misdemeanor charges related to a fight with his mother.
After 22 seasons in the major leagues, Barry Lamar Bonds' playing career has died.It ended not with a home run — or even a strikeout — as it should be in baseball. Instead, it ends in semi-exile, without even a phone call to lift Bonds from the unemployment line.
His agent, Jeff Borris, told the San Francisco Chronicle as much Thursday, saying it's all-but impossible for the 45-year-old Bonds to find work heading into 2010.

Attendees of the recent ASU Baseball camp got the surprise of a lifetime when former Sun Devil star and Major League Baseball Home Run King Barry Bonds stopped by to speak with the campers.
Bonds visited his old stomping grounds of Packard Stadium to see Coach Pat Murphy and impart some wisdom on the campers. Bonds played at Arizona State from 1983 to 1985, hitting .347 and slugging 45 career home runs. He was an All-American and All-Pac-10 performer, helping lead the Sun Devils to the College World Series in 1983 and 1984.


SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Federal prosecutors urged a federal appellate court to reverse a trial judge and let them present critical evidence they say shows Barry Bonds(notes) knowingly used steroids.
Both sides fielded difficult questions Thursday from the three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. In a case stemming from Bonds’ grand jury testimony in December 2003, the home run king pleaded not guilty to 10 counts of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice. He is accused of lying when he testified that he never knowingly used performance enhancing drugs.
U.S. Circuit Judge Stephen R. Reinhardt appeared skeptical of the government’s position while Judge Carlos T. Bea appeared to be searching for a legally sound way to have the evidence admitted. Judge Mary M. Schroeder sat in the middle—literally and figuratively—of the panel, asking few questions but appearing to lean toward Bonds’ side.
