Newz Forum: BASEBALL: Bonds hints at missing season

A dejected Barry Bonds said Tuesday there's a chance he might not return this season because of multiple knee surgeries.

"Right now I'm just going to try to rehab myself to get back to, I don't know, hopefully next season, hopefully the middle of the season. I don't know. Right now I'm just going to take things slow. I feel bad for the guys [Giants teammates] because I want to be out there for them," he said Tuesday after meeting with San Francisco Giants trainer Stan Conte for 1½ hours.

Can you belive this, is it possible that he is trying to fade out, so that people will stop pointing the finger. What if he takes a year off and then retires, is there going to be more questions up in the air? Or will it just fade out cause he never broke the ultimate record.
