Bud Selig: Bonds conviction won't change records
NEW YORK - Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig will not consider changing Barry Bonds' records following the slugger's conviction on obstruction of justice last week.
Feds mulling next move in Barry Bonds saga
Bonds convicted for his "BS answer," juror says
Bonds done, Clemens and maybe Armstrong are next
Bonds holds the career (762) and season (73) home run records, breaking marks set by Hank Aaron (755) and Mark McGwire (70).
During a meeting Thursday with the Associated Press Sports Editors Selig said, "In life there's always got to be pragmatism."
"I think that anybody who understands the sport understand exactly why."
Bonds was convicted last week on a single count, with the jury finding he gave an evasive answer to a grand jury in 2003 when asked whether personal trainer Greg Anderson ever gave him anything that required an injection. Bonds' lawyers have asked for the verdict to be thrown out.
