Judge Illston: Former players to testify at Bonds trial

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Some of Barry Bonds’ former teammates, along with other retired Major League Baseball players and perhaps current player Jason Giambi, will have to testify at the slugger’s upcoming perjury trial, a federal judge said Friday.


Lawyers for Bonds argued at a hearing before U.S. District Court Judge Susan Illston that the players should be excluded because of their ties to Bonds’ former trainer Greg Anderson, who is refusing to testify against the slugger.
