Barry Bonds is finished in San Francisco.

The Giants told Bonds they will not bring him back next season, ending a 15-year run in which he set the single-season and all-time home run records and became a lightning rod for the steroids debate in baseball.

"It's always difficult to say goodbye," Giants owner Peter Magowan said Friday. "It's an emotional time for me. We've been through a lot together these 15 years. A lot of good things have happened. Unfortunately a lot of bad things have happened. But there comes a time when you have to go in a different direction."

On his Web site, Bonds said he wasn't done.

"There is more baseball in me and I plan on continuing my career. My quest for a World Series ring continues," he said.

that's a shame.

This will more than likely turn into a "Let's sign Barry Bonds" thread.

dam, being from SF and getting to see him play all the time was awesome, I'm sad to see him go.

twins. no
yankees. maybe

I think we will see him be a Yankee

Wow, can you say a$$holes? If I was Barry i'd be so mad that they only kept you around long enough to bank off your feat.This angers me a lot for some reason.

I honestly hope not.

They are moving in a different direction???
I guess that means away from people that hit home runs and fill the stadium with fans.

Why?
The cheating jurk got what he deserved.
Now the MLB shouldn't let him sign with another team and I'd be happy.
