DMD Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 15 felonies may be a MLB record. Barry Bonds Faces 15-Count Indictment Slugger Due Back In Court On June 6 SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Bonds was charged in a new indictment Tuesday with 15 felony counts alleging he lied to a grand jury when he denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs and that he hampered the federal government's doping investigation. The career home run leader originally was indicted in November by a federal grand jury on four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice. The new indictment doesn't add any new alleged falsehoods. The case against Bonds is still built on whether he lied when he told the grand jury that his personal trainer Greg Anderson never supplied him with steroids and human growth hormone. Bonds' next hearing already had been scheduled for June 6 before the new indictment was unsealed, but Ruby said it is unclear whether Bonds' will be expected to enter a plea then. The Major League Baseball Players Association said last week it was investigating whether to file a collusion grievance against teams for not pursuing Bonds, who became a free agent when the Giants decided they didn't want him back after 15 seasons. The 43-year-old outfielder, a seven-time NL MVP, says he wants to play this year and his agent claims no team has made an offer for the 14-time All-Star. Bonds hit 28 homers last year to raise his total to 762, seven more than Hank Aaron's previous record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Beatings Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 During one of the Red Sox and Twins game this last weekend, they mentioned that the pace for homeruns in the league this year is down by about 1,000 from just 2 years ago.

Say what? As if they all had to get together in secret and say "Hey... nobody pick up the old steroid abuser who may get banned from baseball this year."
