US | Barry Bonds Bonds Snubbed by Baseball Commish Selig vows to skip Bonds' bid at home run crown By Joseph Fasano Posted Jul 24, 2007 4:47 AM CDT Copied San Francisco Giants' Barry Bonds waits for his first at-bat against the Atlanta Braves in the first inning of a baseball game in San Francisco, Monday, July 23, 2007.(AP Photo/Jeff Chiu) (Associated Press) Just two blasts shy of Hank Aaron's all-time record, slugger Barry Bonds has a chance to become the new home run king in his own backyard.
