Bonds celebrates his 700th homer
|
San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds has undergone minor knee surgery in a bid to be fit for the new season.
Bonds, who is hoping to become the all-time leading home run hitter, will now miss much of spring training.
"This was a minor clean-up and, in fact, the arthritis under Barry's kneecap was not as bad as we expected," said Giants trainer Stan Conte.
"After rehabilitation, we expect him to be competitive in six weeks and at full strength by opening day."
Bonds,40, has 703 career homers, 11 fewer than Babe Ruth and 52 short of Hank Aaron.
