(Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Oakland rallied in the final minute to beat the Baltimore Ravens, 37-33. The national media's main question after the game: \"What happened to Baltimore?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, Baltimore must have blown the game because the Raiders are such a bad team. True, the Raiders have been losing for a long time. The team hasn’t made the playoffs since 2002, when they lost in the Super Bowl to Tampa Bay. So no one wants to buy in too quickly and get burned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not getting burned is the philosophy of professional bettors and those who make the betting lines. Going into the 16-game regular season, the over-versus-under win total for the 49ers was 7.5 at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.westgatedestinations.com/nevada/las-vegas/westgate-las-vegas-hotel-casino/casino/race-sports-book\" target=\"_blank\">Westgate Race and Sports Superbook\u003c/a> in Las Vegas. That means if you thought the team would go 8-8, you would bet the over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RAIDERS/status/645745496821075968\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But so many people bet the under that the number dropped to 7 wins, then 6.5 wins. A rather large and rare move of a win total line. And it was all because the bettors (both those who know what they are doing and those who don’t) couldn't stop betting for losses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a different story for the Raiders.

The charges are driving under the influence with a prior offense, hit and run with property damage, and vandalism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith was suspended for the first nine games last season for violating the NFL's substance abuse and personal conduct policies. The league says he is currently eligible to play despite his latest arrest. But the NFL is still looking into that matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith will be arraigned on the misdemeanor charges on Oct. 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Ex-49er and Stanford Cardinal Jonathan Martin, who was at the center of a notorious NFL bullying scandal, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/J_Martin71/status/636462370739589124\" target=\"_blank\">posted on Facebook\u003c/a> Wednesday a highly personal and emotional account of the torment he felt during his playing career. Writing in the second person and the present tense, Martin wrote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Your job leads you to attempt to kill yourself on multiple occasions. Your self-perceived social inadequacy dominates your every waking moment & thought. You're petrified going to work. You either sleep 12, 14, 16, hours a day when you can, or not at all. You drink too much, smoke weed constantly, have trouble focusing on doing your job, playing the sport that you grew up obsessed with.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Martin's essay, which also covers his early alienation as a minority in \"elite private schools,\" ends on a hopeful note:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You let your demons go,\" he wrote, \"knowing that, perhaps, sharing your story can help some other chubby, goofy, socially-isolated, sensitive kid getting bullied in America who feels like no one in the world cares about them. And let them know they aren't alone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin was an offensive tackle who played nine games for the Niners last season and was waived in March. He was then claimed by the Carolina Panthers but retired earlier this month, due to a season-ending back injury. In a \u003ca href=\"http://blackandbluereview.com/jonathan-martin-retirement-explanation/\" target=\"_blank\">tweet that he later deleted\u003c/a>, Martin wrote: \"But, in the end, football was just a job, albeit a fun and well-paying one. Being in a wheelchair at 50 isn't worth any amount of money.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, Martin left the Miami Dolphins after accusing fellow lineman Richie Incognito and other teammates of bullying him. The case made national headlines and became another occasion to question NFL culture. From a report in the\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/05/sports/football/for-the-nfl-a-question-of-hazing-or-abuse.html\" target=\"_blank\"> New York Times\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>For years, young players in the N.F.L. have been subjected to a wide swath of indignities straight from the hallways of high school or the back rooms of fraternity houses. Young players are often expected to carry teammates’ equipment off the field. They are sometimes forced to sing or otherwise entertain teammates on demand, left helplessly taped to goal posts or asked to regularly bring sandwiches or fast food to teammates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They are often called names — Incognito referred to Martin, privately and publicly, as the Big Weirdo. In the glossy program sold at the Dolphins’ Halloween night home game, after Martin left the team, Incognito called Martin the “easiest teammate to scare.” ESPN and The Associated Press, among other outlets, citing unnamed sources, have reported that Incognito sent threatening and racist voice mail and text messages to Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many teams have a tradition of requiring rookies to pay the bill at an annual steakhouse dinner, with free-flowing liquor, where tabs run into the tens of thousands of dollars. One report Monday said Martin was pressured to pay $15,000 toward a trip to Las Vegas that he did not attend. In 2010, Dallas receiver Dez Bryant paid a $54,896 tab.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In 2014, an independent NFL investigator issued a \u003ca href=\"http://63bba9dfdf9675bf3f10-68be460ce43dd2a60dd64ca5eca4ae1d.r37.cf1.rackcdn.com/PaulWeissReport.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">report\u003c/a> on the situation in Miami that found Incognito and two other linemen \"engaged in a pattern of harassment\" directed at Martin, another unnamed teammateand an assistant trainer. The report revealed that Martin had \"contemplated suicide\" on two occasions in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Dolphins then immediately released Incognito. He did not play last year, but was \u003ca href=\"http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000469310/article/bills-sign-richie-incognito-to-oneyear-contract\" target=\"_blank\">signed by the Buffalo Bills\u003c/a> to a one-year contract in February.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Ex-49er and Stanford Cardinal Jonathan Martin, who was at the center of a notorious NFL bullying scandal, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/J_Martin71/status/636462370739589124\" target=\"_blank\">posted on Facebook\u003c/a> Wednesday a highly personal and emotional account of the torment he felt during his playing career. Writing in the second person and the present tense, Martin wrote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Your job leads you to attempt to kill yourself on multiple occasions. Your self-perceived social inadequacy dominates your every waking moment & thought. You're petrified going to work. You either sleep 12, 14, 16, hours a day when you can, or not at all. You drink too much, smoke weed constantly, have trouble focusing on doing your job, playing the sport that you grew up obsessed with.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Martin's essay, which also covers his early alienation as a minority in \"elite private schools,\" ends on a hopeful note:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You let your demons go,\" he wrote, \"knowing that, perhaps, sharing your story can help some other chubby, goofy, socially-isolated, sensitive kid getting bullied in America who feels like no one in the world cares about them. And let them know they aren't alone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin was an offensive tackle who played nine games for the Niners last season and was waived in March. He was then claimed by the Carolina Panthers but retired earlier this month, due to a season-ending back injury. In a \u003ca href=\"http://blackandbluereview.com/jonathan-martin-retirement-explanation/\" target=\"_blank\">tweet that he later deleted\u003c/a>, Martin wrote: \"But, in the end, football was just a job, albeit a fun and well-paying one. Being in a wheelchair at 50 isn't worth any amount of money.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, Martin left the Miami Dolphins after accusing fellow lineman Richie Incognito and other teammates of bullying him. The case made national headlines and became another occasion to question NFL culture. From a report in the\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/05/sports/football/for-the-nfl-a-question-of-hazing-or-abuse.html\" target=\"_blank\"> New York Times\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>For years, young players in the N.F.L. have been subjected to a wide swath of indignities straight from the hallways of high school or the back rooms of fraternity houses. Young players are often expected to carry teammates’ equipment off the field. They are sometimes forced to sing or otherwise entertain teammates on demand, left helplessly taped to goal posts or asked to regularly bring sandwiches or fast food to teammates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They are often called names — Incognito referred to Martin, privately and publicly, as the Big Weirdo. In the glossy program sold at the Dolphins’ Halloween night home game, after Martin left the team, Incognito called Martin the “easiest teammate to scare.” ESPN and The Associated Press, among other outlets, citing unnamed sources, have reported that Incognito sent threatening and racist voice mail and text messages to Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many teams have a tradition of requiring rookies to pay the bill at an annual steakhouse dinner, with free-flowing liquor, where tabs run into the tens of thousands of dollars. One report Monday said Martin was pressured to pay $15,000 toward a trip to Las Vegas that he did not attend. In 2010, Dallas receiver Dez Bryant paid a $54,896 tab.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In 2014, an independent NFL investigator issued a \u003ca href=\"http://63bba9dfdf9675bf3f10-68be460ce43dd2a60dd64ca5eca4ae1d.r37.cf1.rackcdn.com/PaulWeissReport.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">report\u003c/a> on the situation in Miami that found Incognito and two other linemen \"engaged in a pattern of harassment\" directed at Martin, another unnamed teammateand an assistant trainer. The report revealed that Martin had \"contemplated suicide\" on two occasions in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Kurt Clarke:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Smith was parking his GMC truck when he backed into the other car, Clarke said. As he was exiting his truck, his door slammed the already damaged car, leading to the vandalism charge, Clarke said. After exchanging heated words with the car owner, Smith walked away from the scene, Clarke said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith was not at the scene when officers arrived, but walked back roughly 90 minutes later and was identified as the individual responsible for the damage, Clarke said. Smith also exhibited signs of being under the influence of alcohol, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clarke said Smith lives in the apartment complex where the incident occurred.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The 49ers had 12 arrests or charges filed involving seven players since January 2012, prompting owner Jed York to promise the team would \"win with class.\" The Niners released defensive tackle \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/ray-mcdonald\" target=\"_blank\">Ray McDonald\u003c/a> late last season for his off-field problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If one person out there reads this and you're struggling, get help,\" an emotional head coach Jim Tomsula said Friday as he announced the team's release of Smith. \"Go get it. You're worth it. There's value in every human being. Get the help. You don't have to walk alone. Find it, it's there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith, who when at his best is one of the game's top pass rushers, was entering a contract year after he missed the first nine games of 2014 serving an NFL suspension for violations of the league's substance-abuse and personal-conduct policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In spring 2014, the 49ers exercised their 2015 option for Smith. In March, Smith restructured his contract into a more incentive-laden, team-friendly deal that gives the 49ers room if he were to get in legal trouble again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 25-year-old Smith missed time during the 2013 season to undergo treatment at an inpatient facility following his DUI arrest on Sept. 20, 2013. That November, he pleaded not guilty to three felony counts of illegal possession of an assault weapon, stemming from a June 2012 party at his home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith was arrested on April 13, 2014 at Los Angeles International Airport. Police said Smith was randomly selected for a secondary screening and became uncooperative with the process, telling a Transportation Security Administration agent that he had a bomb. No charges were filed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith emerged as one of the NFL's top pass rushers in 2012. He had a franchise-record 19 1/2 sacks that year, but failed to record a sack in his final six games, including the team's postseason Super Bowl run. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith finished with 8 1/2 sacks and 34 tackles in 11 games in 2013, making eight starts. In his shortened 2014 season, he had two sacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tomsula hopes Smith will play football again one day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He has been turning his life around. He is in the process of turning his life around. People stumble,\" Tomsula said. \"In terms of him playing football again, I sure hope so. I think he can. I want him to.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 11:40 a.m.:\u003c/strong> The 49ers have confirmed that they have released Aldon Smith following his latest arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This organization has tried very hard to help Aldon fight his issues.

There's no DUI,\" Smith told reporters who were waiting for him. \"And I'm sorry for anybody I let down, and I'm sorry the way this whole thing ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I need to speak. I want everybody to understand this wasn't a DUI. The situation that happened could have been handled differently. And I apologize to everybody I did let down and I apologize for how it all played out. As far as everything is concerned, it will work out how it's supposed to work out\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked what actually happened, Smith replied: \"That's all. Alright? Thank you.

They will talk about their past and the heroics if you want them to, but they’re not necessarily as romantic about the past as fans or writers are. And also, the guys that were less famous or less successful in their baseball careers had an easier time of making that transition, letting go of being a baseball player and moving on to the next part of their life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TCR\u003c/strong>: It seems pretty fun – a road trip where you’re actually going to people’s houses and going on picnics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Balujkian\u003c/strong>: I want the book to be fun, because baseball is fun, and I want to do things other than just sit across the table in a sterile environment and conduct an interview. So I went to the zoo with one guy, I went bowling with one guy, I went to an art museum with one guy, got invited to a Fourth of July party with one guy and played Cards Against Humanity with his family, which is always a fun and kind of awkward introduction to people when you don’t really know them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TCR\u003c/strong>: You started this road trip in Oakland, made a few California stops, you’ve been all the way across the country and now you’re going to end with \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cowenal01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Al Cowens\u003c/a>‘s family in Downey, California. Can you tell us a little about him?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Balukjian\u003c/strong>: Al grew up in Compton, California in the mid-1960s. He was a terribly underrated player, a really great player for the Kansas City Royals, and had one season where he came in second place for the MVP award, but always somewhat under the radar. He’s the one guy in the pack who’s no longer alive, but I am going to talk to his widow and some of his kids, and hopefully get a feel for what it was like to grow up in that part of Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"rectangular\" ids=\"10628859,10628854,10628856,10628855,10628858,10628857,10628867\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TCR\u003c/strong>: And since you’re reaching the end of your trip, do you feel like you found what you were looking for?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Balukjian\u003c/strong>: For me, it’s turned into something more than just the quest to find old baseball players. I see this as a love story — that might sound weird, I don’t mean love in the romantic sense — but one of the questions I had in mind to answer was what enabled these guys to grow up. Literally growing up from childhood to becoming major leaguers, but then once they hit retirement, which for baseball players is like 35 years old — how do you grow up, what do you do with the rest of your life when you no longer play a kid’s game for a living? And the answer that I came up with in talking with them is love, in the sense of being completely present with what’s right in front of you. I think the key to having been able to move on with their lives — and also the key to having been successful in baseball as a player — is to live in the present moment and love your life. If you have a bad game, the next day you forget about it and move on. And after your career ends, rather than dwell on the past, you live in the present moment and move on to the next phase of your life. And I found most of these guys were really good at that.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But for Balukjian, it’s led to a cross-country road trip and an idea for a book called “\u003ca href=\"http://www.waxpackbook.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wax Pack\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s trying to interview each player from a 1986 pack of Topps cards — from Hall of Famers to obscure utility infielders — and find out where their post-baseball lives have taken them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='”100%”' height='”166″'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/217265955″&visual=true&”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false”'\n title='”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/217265955″'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We caught up with Brad Balukjian in Kansas City, in between his attempt to track down \u003ca href=\"http://www.waxpackbook.com/carlton-fisk.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carlton Fisk\u003c/a> at the Hall of Fame induction weekend in Cooperstown and his visit to \u003ca href=\"http://www.waxpackbook.com/rick-sutcliffe.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rick Sutcliffe\u003c/a> in Lees Summit, MO.

They will talk about their past and the heroics if you want them to, but they’re not necessarily as romantic about the past as fans or writers are. And also, the guys that were less famous or less successful in their baseball careers had an easier time of making that transition, letting go of being a baseball player and moving on to the next part of their life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TCR\u003c/strong>: It seems pretty fun – a road trip where you’re actually going to people’s houses and going on picnics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Balujkian\u003c/strong>: I want the book to be fun, because baseball is fun, and I want to do things other than just sit across the table in a sterile environment and conduct an interview. So I went to the zoo with one guy, I went bowling with one guy, I went to an art museum with one guy, got invited to a Fourth of July party with one guy and played Cards Against Humanity with his family, which is always a fun and kind of awkward introduction to people when you don’t really know them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TCR\u003c/strong>: You started this road trip in Oakland, made a few California stops, you’ve been all the way across the country and now you’re going to end with \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cowenal01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Al Cowens\u003c/a>‘s family in Downey, California. Can you tell us a little about him?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Balukjian\u003c/strong>: Al grew up in Compton, California in the mid-1960s. He was a terribly underrated player, a really great player for the Kansas City Royals, and had one season where he came in second place for the MVP award, but always somewhat under the radar. He’s the one guy in the pack who’s no longer alive, but I am going to talk to his widow and some of his kids, and hopefully get a feel for what it was like to grow up in that part of Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I see this as a love story — that might sound weird, I don’t mean love in the romantic sense — but one of the questions I had in mind to answer was what enabled these guys to grow up. Literally growing up from childhood to becoming major leaguers, but then once they hit retirement, which for baseball players is like 35 years old — how do you grow up, what do you do with the rest of your life when you no longer play a kid’s game for a living? And the answer that I came up with in talking with them is love, in the sense of being completely present with what’s right in front of you. I think the key to having been able to move on with their lives — and also the key to having been successful in baseball as a player — is to live in the present moment and love your life. If you have a bad game, the next day you forget about it and move on. And after your career ends, rather than dwell on the past, you live in the present moment and move on to the next phase of your life. And I found most of these guys were really good at that.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

We hope as time goes on, the city, the Warriors and the community will ultimately realize that this is a fatally flawed project.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The alliance, which describes itself as \"UCSF stakeholders, donors, faculty, physicians and the working men and women of San Francisco\" (and has been described \u003ca href=\"http://big-bucks%20donors%20to%20UCSF\" target=\"_blank\">elsewhere\u003c/a> as anonymous \"big-bucks donors to UCSF\"), has said it will sue to block the arena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Singer promised something more colorful, veering from basketball to Dante-esqe ice hockey metaphors to describe the group's battle plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As we explain the actual demerits of this project to the public we are going to win this battle,\" Singer said. \"Right now this game is in the first minutes of the first quarter. By the time the Mission Bay Alliance reaches the championship, we’re going to beat the owners of the Warriors. We’re going to wipe the court with them. ... We are going to fight the Warriors proposal until hell freezes over, and then we’re going to fight them on the ice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, there's one place the Warriors wouldn't have to go through all this: that place in Oakland where they've had 123 regular-season sellouts in a row. Folks over there might actually welcome the idea of a new arena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Federal prosecutors' long, long legal pursuit of former San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds is officially over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melinda Haag, the U.S. attorney for Northern California, filed a brief notice with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday morning that the government won't attempt to take its case to the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonds was convicted in 2011 of obstruction of justice in connection with a probe into his alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs. The conviction was first upheld by a three-judge 9th Circuit panel, then struck down by an en banc panel of 11 judges. It's that last decision the Justice Department has decided not to appeal to the high court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors investigating BALCO, a Peninsula sports lab that had distributed banned substances to elite athletes, had charged Major League Baseball's all-time home-run record holder with perjury and obstruction in connection with his 2003 testimony to a federal grand jury in San Francisco. They said Bonds had lied when he denied using steroids and had tried to mislead the grand jury with an evasive answer about his drug use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jury failed to reach a verdict on three perjury counts, but convicted him on the obstruction charge because of his \"I was a celebrity child\" response to a question about whether he'd used injected substances. The key exchange:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Q: Did Greg [Anderson, Bonds' trainer] ever give you anything that required a syringe to inject yourself with?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: I’ve only had one doctor touch me. And that’s my only personal doctor. Greg, like I said, we don’t get into each others’ personal lives. We’re friends, but I don’t — we don’t sit around and talk baseball, because he knows I don’t want — don’t come to my house talking baseball. If you want to come to my house and talk about fishing, some other stuff, we’ll be good friends. You come around talking about baseball, you go on. I don’t talk about his business. You know what I mean?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Q: Right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: That’s what keeps our friendship. You know, I am sorry, but that — you know, that — I was a celebrity child, not just in baseball by my own instincts. I became a celebrity child with a famous father. I just don’t get into other people’s business because of my father’s situation, you see.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The 11-judge panel ruled 10-1 that the statement did not constitute obstruction of justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What still remains to be decided for Bonds is his standing a) in the court of public opinion and b) with professional baseball writers, the latter of which hold the power to deny him entry into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonds probably never needed to be rehabilitated in the eyes of Giants fans. He became \u003cem>the\u003c/em> dominant power hitter of baseball's Steroid Era, ending with 762 career home runs, and was welcomed to the team's spring training this year as a hitting coach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his reputation elsewhere is controversial. Baseball writers have blocked Bonds and other figures from the Steroid Era, notably pitcher Roger Clemens and former Oakland A's and St. Louis Cardinals slugger Mark McGwire, from getting into the Hall of Fame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And here's a reminder of the suspicions Bonds must still overcome: When prosecutors questioned him in front of that 2003 grand jury, they detailed a long list of pharmaceuticals they alleged Bonds had taken. Here's how \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Barry-Bonds-grand-jury-transcript-unsealed-3224762.php\" target=\"_blank\">the San Francisco Chronicle summarized\u003c/a> that laundry list -- and Bonds' partial response, when the panel's transcripts were released in 2008:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The unsealed transcript gives a detailed account of Bonds' Dec. 4, 2003, appearance before a grand jury that was investigating both BALCO officials and Bonds' personal trainer, Greg Anderson, on suspicion of distributing undetectable steroids called \"the cream\" and \"the clear.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In sworn testimony, Bonds acknowledged receiving clear and cream substances from Anderson but said his trainer described them as flaxseed oil and a rubbing balm for arthritis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Bonds' three hours on the witness stand, prosecutors confronted the slugger with what they said were incriminating documents seized in raids on BALCO and on Anderson's home in Burlingame in September 2003.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors said the documents detailed Bonds' use of a long list of drugs: human growth hormone, Depo-Testosterone, \"the cream\" and \"the clear,\" insulin and even Clomid, a female fertility drug. The documents, many with Bonds' name or initials on them, are dated from 2001 through 2003. Prosecutors queried Bonds closely about them, but he denied using the drugs and said he had never seen the documents before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, prosecutor Jeff Nedrow showed Bonds the results of a steroid screen ordered in November 2000 by BALCO's founder, Victor Conte. Nedrow said the tested urine sample belonged to Bonds, and he noted that the report showed Bonds had elevated levels for the injectable steroid nadrolone and for methenolone, a steroid available in both injectable and oral form.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I got to ask, Mr. Bonds,\" the prosecutor said. \"There's this number on a document with your name ... and it does have these two listed anabolic steroids as testing positive in connection with it. Do you follow my question?\"\u003cbr>\nBonds replied, \"I follow where you're going, yeah.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prosecutor continued, \"I guess I got to ask the question again. I mean, did you take steroids? And specifically this test is in November of 2000. So I'm going to ask you in the weeks and months leading up to November, 2000, were you taking steroids?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No,\" Bonds replied.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

The conviction was first upheld by a three-judge 9th Circuit panel, then struck down by an en banc panel of 11 judges. It's that last decision the Justice Department has decided not to appeal to the high court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors investigating BALCO, a Peninsula sports lab that had distributed banned substances to elite athletes, had charged Major League Baseball's all-time home-run record holder with perjury and obstruction in connection with his 2003 testimony to a federal grand jury in San Francisco. They said Bonds had lied when he denied using steroids and had tried to mislead the grand jury with an evasive answer about his drug use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jury failed to reach a verdict on three perjury counts, but convicted him on the obstruction charge because of his \"I was a celebrity child\" response to a question about whether he'd used injected substances. The key exchange:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Q: Did Greg [Anderson, Bonds' trainer] ever give you anything that required a syringe to inject yourself with?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: I’ve only had one doctor touch me. And that’s my only personal doctor. Greg, like I said, we don’t get into each others’ personal lives. We’re friends, but I don’t — we don’t sit around and talk baseball, because he knows I don’t want — don’t come to my house talking baseball. If you want to come to my house and talk about fishing, some other stuff, we’ll be good friends. You come around talking about baseball, you go on. I don’t talk about his business. You know what I mean?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Q: Right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: That’s what keeps our friendship. You know, I am sorry, but that — you know, that — I was a celebrity child, not just in baseball by my own instincts. I became a celebrity child with a famous father. I just don’t get into other people’s business because of my father’s situation, you see.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The 11-judge panel ruled 10-1 that the statement did not constitute obstruction of justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He became \u003cem>the\u003c/em> dominant power hitter of baseball's Steroid Era, ending with 762 career home runs, and was welcomed to the team's spring training this year as a hitting coach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his reputation elsewhere is controversial. Baseball writers have blocked Bonds and other figures from the Steroid Era, notably pitcher Roger Clemens and former Oakland A's and St. Louis Cardinals slugger Mark McGwire, from getting into the Hall of Fame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And here's a reminder of the suspicions Bonds must still overcome: When prosecutors questioned him in front of that 2003 grand jury, they detailed a long list of pharmaceuticals they alleged Bonds had taken. Here's how \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Barry-Bonds-grand-jury-transcript-unsealed-3224762.php\" target=\"_blank\">the San Francisco Chronicle summarized\u003c/a> that laundry list -- and Bonds' partial response, when the panel's transcripts were released in 2008:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The unsealed transcript gives a detailed account of Bonds' Dec. 4, 2003, appearance before a grand jury that was investigating both BALCO officials and Bonds' personal trainer, Greg Anderson, on suspicion of distributing undetectable steroids called \"the cream\" and \"the clear.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In sworn testimony, Bonds acknowledged receiving clear and cream substances from Anderson but said his trainer described them as flaxseed oil and a rubbing balm for arthritis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Bonds' three hours on the witness stand, prosecutors confronted the slugger with what they said were incriminating documents seized in raids on BALCO and on Anderson's home in Burlingame in September 2003.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors said the documents detailed Bonds' use of a long list of drugs: human growth hormone, Depo-Testosterone, \"the cream\" and \"the clear,\" insulin and even Clomid, a female fertility drug. The documents, many with Bonds' name or initials on them, are dated from 2001 through 2003. Prosecutors queried Bonds closely about them, but he denied using the drugs and said he had never seen the documents before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, prosecutor Jeff Nedrow showed Bonds the results of a steroid screen ordered in November 2000 by BALCO's founder, Victor Conte. Nedrow said the tested urine sample belonged to Bonds, and he noted that the report showed Bonds had elevated levels for the injectable steroid nadrolone and for methenolone, a steroid available in both injectable and oral form.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I got to ask, Mr. Bonds,\" the prosecutor said. \"There's this number on a document with your name ... and it does have these two listed anabolic steroids as testing positive in connection with it. Do you follow my question?\"\u003cbr>\nBonds replied, \"I follow where you're going, yeah.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prosecutor continued, \"I guess I got to ask the question again. I mean, did you take steroids? And specifically this test is in November of 2000. So I'm going to ask you in the weeks and months leading up to November, 2000, were you taking steroids?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No,\" Bonds replied.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
