Barry Bonds found guilty of Obstruction of Justice
SAN FRANCISCO - Barry Bonds was found guilty of obstruction of justice Wednesday, but a jury failed to reach a verdict on three other counts that the home run king lied to a grand jury in 2003 when he specifically denied that he knowingly used steroids and human growth hormone.

Following a 12-day trial and almost four full days of deliberation, a jury could not reach a unanimous vote on three of four counts, a messy end to a case that put the slugger in the spotlight for more than three years.

Bonds sat stone-faced through the verdict, displaying no emotion.

I loathe Bonds and his attitude and for cheating with steroids. But IMHO this trial is a big waste of money. Bonds will probably pay with his health in future years and his records are forever tarninshed.

2. I wonder if that baseball
marked with the asterisk * ever made it to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown?
