San Francisco Giants Barry Bonds waves to the crowd after leaving the game after batting in the sixth inning against the San Diego Padres during their MLB National League baseball game in San Francisco, California in this September 26, 2007 file photo. Bonds was playing his last game as a Giant in San Francisco. The home run record holder will not be returning to Major League Baseball, his agent said on Thursday, effectively confirming the player's retirement. Bonds, who faces charges that he lied to a grand jury about steroid use, has not played in the past two seasons but had never formally retired. His agent Jeff Borris told The San Francisco Chronicle though that he saw no chance of a return for the 45-year-old slugger, who technically is still a free agent.
